This study tests a therapy that teaches children with open bite how to position their tongue and swallow correctly, which may help close the gap between their teeth. It is designed for children aged 6 to 10 who have an open bite and an infantile swallowing pattern.
This trial tests whether training the muscles you use to breathe can also improve your tongue muscle function. It looks for healthy adults between 18 and 65 who can follow instructions in French or Dutch.
This study tests whether simple exercises for the mouth, tongue, and face can help children with mild sleep apnea breathe better during sleep. It's a non-surgical, drug-free approach that may be a good option for kids who haven't tried other treatments.
This trial tests a new approach for treating bad breath (halitosis) using a special light therapy combined with probiotics (good bacteria). It aims to see if this combination works better than standard treatments.
This study looks at how bacteria in the mouth pass between family members, especially from parents with gum disease to children. It aims to find ways to break the cycle of bacteria that cause cavities and gum problems, which may help prevent future dental issues in children.
This study looks at the tongue in children aged 4 to 17 who have sleep-disordered breathing (like snoring or pauses in breathing during sleep). The goal is to understand how the tongue might be related to these sleep problems, which could lead to better treatments.
