Popis: Most infants are beautiful because most children are born with normal craniofacial shape, normal jaw relationship and potential for optimal airway. In most newborn faces, the alveolar process easily accommodates the tongue and all future teeth. Nevertheless, orthodontists see multitudes of children with abnormal jaw relationship, steep mandibular angle (SMA), anterior open bite (AOB), high narrow palate (HNP), posterior cross bite (PCB) and suboptimal facial development. While orthodontic referrals may begin at age seven, the facial dysmorphology is often evident years earlier. When oral dysfunction goes untreated, orofacial myofunctional disorder (OMD) can result. Orofacial myofunctional disorder includes dysfunction of the lips, jaw, tongue and/or oropharynx that interferes with normal growth, development or function of other oral structures, the consequence of a sequence of events or lack of intervention at critical periods, that result in malocclusion and suboptimal facial development. Oral dysfunction can begin with our very first breath and with our very first feeding.1 OMD can become apparent as children learn to speak2 and transition to table food.3 Most children with OMD are diagnosed after experiencing articulation disorder, sleep‐disordered breathing (SDB)4 or malocclusion.5 Orthodontic relapse, obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and temporomandibular disorder6 are predictable consequences of long‐term oral dysfunction and OMD. This manuscript provides a brief narrative survey of ten areas of oral function related to occlusal and facial development: breastfeeding, airway obstruction, soft tissue restriction, mouth breathing, oral resting posture, oral habits, swallowing, chewing, OMD over time and maternal oral dysfunction on the developing foetus.
