A custom-made appliance for mandibular mobilization in children with limited mouth opening
These findings demonstrate the efficiency of the MOA in improving MIO in compliant pediatric patients. Incorporating such appliances post-surgery shows potential for improving mandibular mobility and supporting long-term outcomes. Although a larger sample size is needed to strengthen the evidence, current results remain compelling and support refining appliance protocols for this patient population.
