FACEFORMER efficient in the treatment of orofacial dysfunctions
StudiesIn this study, the efficacy of FACEFORMER Therapy and another nonapparatus myofunctional therapy method were compared. Based on the results, it was found that harmonization of orofacial dysfunctions is possible with both functional therapy concepts. However, FACEFORMER therapy proved to be the more efficient method within the six-month observation period.
An efficient method to harmonize orofacial dysfunctions
StudiesThis study compares the efficacy of FACEFORMER Therapy and another nonapparatus myofunctional therapy method. Based on the results, it was determined that harmonization of orofacial dysfunctions is possible with both functional therapy concepts. However, FACEFORMER Therapy proved to be the more efficient method within the six-month observation period.
Successfully treating bruxism
StudiesCraniocervical dysfunctions can be corrected by regular FACEFORMER training. Bruxism and associated pain are reduced or completely eliminated. Most study participants were free of symptoms after only eight weeks.
Improve running performance with FACEFORMER method
StudiesIn a pilot study the positive influence of the FACEFORMER method on the mileage of the test persons was examined.
FACEFORMER Therapy and the Impact on Spinal Cord Position
StudiesThe development of a physiological head balance influences the posture of the cervical and lumbar spine. FACEFORMER Therapy achieves this by activating the muscles of the craniomandibular and cervical system,
FACEFORMER therapy is effective against snoring and sleep apnea
StudiesIn a controlled study (pilot study), the success of FACEFORMER Therapy in patients with snoring and sleep apnea will be evaluated. For a three-month phase, a daily therapy of 4 exercise units is required. One exercise unit comprises 20 repetitions of the basic exercise and 20 repetitions of at least one pull exercise. After approx. 3 weeks, when improved nasal breathing can be felt as a result of training, the FACEFORMER is also applied at night. The goal is to get used to nasal breathing.
Myofunctional therapy with the FACEFORMER – Indications and treatment strategies
StudiesThis study examinated indications and treatment strategies for myfunctional therapy with the FACEFORMER. The goal was the clinical presentation of a new diagnostic and therapeutical concept for myofunctional disturbances of the facial musculature and the mandibular (jaw) musculature. As a conclusion, the FACEFORMER device seems useful for broad clinical applications, because the first positive changes were diagnosable within the first two weeks of therapy. Furthermore, as determined from patient information, the new device was much better accepted than the other aiding devices.
Lip pressure measurement with the FACEFORMER
StudiesLip pressure measurement: The study of the University of Jena critically evaluates the reliability of function-oriented measurements of perioral musculature with the FACEFORMER. It concludes that the results of the lip pressure measurement performed with FACEFORMER are reproducible at a high level. First results on the trainability of the perioral musculature suggest that FACEFORMER - when used consistently - is an effective, simple and cost-effective exercise device in myofunctional therapy.
