Orthodontic Appliance‐Related Mucosal Ulcerations in Newborns and Infants With Craniofacial Disorders
MU are common during palatal plate therapy. Our findings suggest that MU are correlated with both, the device's function and the mucosal load it applies. Parental training in device use and oral inspection, along with regular clinical check-ups, is advised to identify MU early, increase appliance quality and patient comfort.
