Orofacial Disorder is a type of Myofunctional disorder, which affects the muscles. These disorders are muscle disorders of the face, mouth, lips, or jaw as a result of chronic mouth breathing.

And recent studies on this disorder are not available. Nonetheless, according to previous research, it was proved that 38% of numerous populations gave OMD. This disorder is more in children with speech/articulation problems (Kellum, 1992).

And the speech/articulation problem is related to Open Mouth Posture, which is the focus of this guide.

Open mouth posture is a type of myofunctional disorder, which affects the head and neck posture. Indeed, people affected with open mouth postures suffer from their head being in a forward position, but tilted posteriorly, to increase airway space.
