Abstract
ObjectiveTo compare the clinical efficacy of two techniques for fabricating a Bimler device by assessing the patient’s surface electromyography (sEMG) activity at rest before treatment and six months after treatment.MethodsTwenty-four patients undergoing orthodontic treatment were enrolled in the study; 12 formed the test group and wore a Bimler device fabricated with a Myoprint impression using neuromuscular orthodontic technique and 12 formed the control group and were treated by traditional orthodontic technique with a wax bite in protrusion. The “rest” sEMG of each patient was recorded prior to treatment and six months after treatment.ResultsThe neuromuscular-designed Bimler device was more comfortable and provided better treatment results than the traditional Bimler device.ConclusionThis study suggests that the patient group subjected to neuromuscular orthodontic treatment had a treatment outcome with more relaxed masticatory muscles and better function versus the traditional orthodontic treatment.
