METHOD FOR REHABILITATION TREATMENT OF TONGUE DYSFUNCTION FOLLOWING FRENULOPLASTY IN PATIENTS USING REMOVABLE APPLIANCES Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61C7/36 A61C19/06 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: removable individual replaceable myogymnastic element (RIRME) representing an individually curved orthodontic wire having a many-sided bead is fixed for 2 hours a day and for a period of logopaedic treatment into closed canals of the palatal plate of the removable appliance. A patient moves his/her tongue: touches the bead and displaces it in different directions along the wire trajectory. As the range of motions increases, the RIRME is changed by a new one with the complex trajectory and a smaller bead. The lessons are continued until the tongue functions are recovered completely.

EFFECT: method enables shortening the rehabilitation period that is ensured by orthodontic treatment in a combination with functional correction and use of the myogymnastic element that is complicated in the process of treatment.
