Core Message
Rehabilitation by a skilled team of professionals is critical to optimizing long-term success and can signicantly improve airway patency, functional, orthodontic, and aes­thetic outcomes after surgery. This book chapter provides an introductory overview to help the practitioner appreci­ate the role of pre- and postoperative therapies in the care of patients who undergo orthognathic surgery for treat­ment of sleep apnea.
Maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) is a highly effective surgical option for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) that achieves enlargement of the upper airway by physically expanding the facial skeletal framework [1, 2]. After surgery, however, patients may develop swelling, facial numbness, oral incompetence, drooling, difculty with mouth opening, and nasal obstruction [3]. Myofunctional and physical therapy can be used before surgery to identify and eliminate potential barriers to successful outcomes, work to identify hurtful habits, educate and empower the patient, and begin to establish healthy habits, postures, and movement patterns. Post­surgical therapy helps maximize the benets of surgery by restoring motion, strength, and establishing healthy postures, habits, and normal oral and masticatory func­tion, as well as to re-pattern the stomatognathic func­tions of the oral facial muscles [4] which can improve long-term outcomes (see .
Fig.31.1).
Myofunctional therapy is the neurologic re- education
of the oral and facial muscles to promote healthy orofa-
cial habits. It is a rehabilitation therapy program that focuses on optimizing chewing, swallowing, orofacial posture, and nasal breathing. Restoration of these basic functions is important to maximize patient satisfaction, long-term success, and quality of life after jaw surgery. In the United States, a postgraduate course in myofunc­tional therapy is taught to medical doctors, dentists, dental hygienists, physical therapists, speech language pathologists, occupational therapists, and osteopaths. It will be important that professionals on the rehabilitation team work within their scope of practice but are trained in and working toward the healthy functions now referred to in the research as myofunctional therapy.
Physical therapy for the jaw can include myofunc­tional therapy with proper postgraduate training, and can optimize surgical results by providing skilled manual, neuromuscular and myofascial techniques and custom­ized treatments, training and therapeutic techniques to decrease pain and inammation, restore mobility, stabil­ity, strength and function of the joints, nerves and mus­cles, improve posture and alignment of the spine and cranium, and a healthy resting position of the mandible.
The rehabilitation team should work collaboratively with the surgeon to develop and implement mutually agreed upon patient care protocols. Modalities used may vary as outlined by surgeon preference, therapist experience, and each state’s professional practice act.
A preoperative assessment is performed prior to sur­gery to evaluate for the presence of tongue thrust, anky­loglossia, poor oral rest posture, and other signs of

orofacial myofunctional disorders as well as postural dysfunction, hypermobility and mal-alignment, and bone, joint, muscle, fascia, or nervous system dysfunc­tions that may need to be addressed or taken into con­sideration. Patients are taught to:
5 Practice nasal breathing day and night 5 Develop a lip seal 5 Achieve and maintain palatal tongue rest posture 5 Practice bilateral chewing (with clearance from the
oral surgeon) and healthy swallow
5 Maintain healthy balanced postures, including sleep
and eating posture
5 Avoid hurtful habits and parafunctions by
5 Keeping hands and objects away from the face 5 Eliminating lip biting and clenching teeth
Indeed, constant pressure on the teeth from the tongue due to poor oral rest posture and/or tongue thrusting during swallow may have a dramatic effect on the dental occlusion and alignment of teeth within the mouth [4].
To maximize surgical results and minimize relapse, it is essential to address the dysfunctions that likely contrib­uted to the need for surgical intervention in the rst place. Ideally, pre-surgical therapy including myofunctional therapy is initiated two to three months prior to surgery to create a foundation for the post- surgical long-term phase of care. Post-surgical rehabilitation that includes a sequential series of therapeutic techniques described as myofunctional therapy is then essential to optimize the results of surgery and avoid relapse (see . Fig.31.2).
Post-surgical therapy aims to help rehabilitate the patient in both the acute and long-term phases of recov­ery after jaw surgery. In the acute setting, the objectives of postoperative therapy may include the following:
5 Improve facial sensation, proprioception, and neural
networks
5 Reinforce nasal saline rinses and encourage nasal
breathing
5 Encourage proper swallowing, chewing, and feeding
techniques

5 Avoid maladaptive orofacial habits (touching the
face, resting the jaw on the hands, applying asymmetric pressure to the surgical osteotomy and xation site)
5 Improve the resting position of the tongue by
isolating and activating different tongue muscles
5 Promote stabilization of the mandible and avoid
over-opening
5 Teach symmetrical muscle patterns that promote a
stable orthodontic result
5 Establish healthy sleep habits and hygiene
Dental hygienists practicing myofunctional therapy are also able to provide oral care for the patient to reduce inammation in the tissues surrounding the oral appli­ances using various rinses such as chlorhexidine and uorides with soft brushes. Nutritional counseling as to the consistency of foods and identication of foods with a high value of nutrients is valuable to assist the patient into optimal healing. Because of the hygienists’ knowl­edge of dentistry, nutrition, and occlusion, they can communicate between the orthodontist and oral sur­geon effectively. They can support and motivate the patient to think positively about the result while in the healing phase and may decrease patient’s anxiety.
Speech and language pathologists (SLPs) can be helpful in assisting patients before and after any sur­gery to the face, mouth, and often to the nose and the pharynx. By applying diagnostic principles and myo­functional therapy techniques, SLPs address any impact the surgery may have on oral functions such as chewing, swallowing, and resting position of tongue and lips. In addition, SLPs may provide patients with nasal breathing techniques, as well as voice and speech articulation therapy when needed as they may be impacted by surgery.
Chewing functions are always disrupted by MMA surgery and quite often patients are left to recover chew­ing spontaneously and they are recommended to eat soft foods, which is as necessary an approach as avoiding load bearing on a fractured leg. However, most patients do not receive formal instructions on how to properly recover chewing with the unfortunate result of being on soft diet longer than is necessary. It would be akin to having a broken leg and never receive physical therapy to recover proper gait.
Chewing involves many neuro-muscular-occlusal circuits which surgery usually disrupts. Therapy tech­niques to normalize chewing might include chewing on silicon wafers or tubes or sticks (sham chewing), which allow a balanced and gradable activation of the bucci­nators, masseters, and temporalis muscles, which can also be toned before surgery and then re-patterned post-surgery.
Since, in the very beginning, just after signicant MMA surgery, most meals are to be consumed in liquid form, a proper activation of the buccinators and the orbicularis oris may promote a more efcient sucking through straws or from spoons. Toning and strengthen­ing these muscles prior to surgery can assist with post­surgery recovery.
Nasal breathing is fundamental to preserve a proper lip seal but often, even after the rhino-maxillary surgery provided the physical space for better breathing, nasal breathing is still not spontaneous because nasal breath­ing is a complex neuro-chemical-muscular activity that needs to be taught or taught again after extensive sur­gery, as the neuro-sensory parameters changed. Moreover, breathing is involved with voice, not just as the ow of air creates sounds but also as the oronasal cavities create resonance.
Surgery involving the soft palate, like uvulo-palato­pharyngo-plasty (UPPP), often creates a temporary but signicant loss of air through the nose during speech, so that sounds that require a build-up of oral pressure, such as /p/, /b/, /t/, /d/, /k/, or /g/, cannot be properly produced as the air escapes through the nose because the soft palate is not isolating properly the various cavi­ties. SLPs, through specic exercises can assist the patient in recovering the functionality of the soft palate.

Although speech-language pathologists, physical therapists, and dental hygienists may take care of patients from birth to old age, for patients who undergo MMA or other sleep surgery, they may still need to receive postgraduate training in myofunctional therapy.

31.1 Paradigm

Myofunctional therapy exercises should be individually customized and performed under the guidance of a pro­fessional trained in orofacial myofunctional therapy and who has had extra training as to habit awareness and elimination, breathing education, and proper pre- and post-orthognathic goals. In general, the post­orthognathic surgery paradigm includes the following elements and practice exercises.

31.2 Preoperative

1. Baseline assessments are acquired. Measurements of
tongue and lip strength, rest posture of the tongue,
ability of the patient to breathe through their nose,
history of habits, oral facial pain symptoms, tongue
and orbicularis oris restricted tissues, swallowing
and chewing difculties, facial symmetry, diet survey,
functional speech and posture problems, photos and
videos, palate width, Mallampati/Friedman scores,
and screening for abnormal tissues.
2. Begin teaching principles and practice of proper oro-
facial rest posture, tongue placement, bilateral chew-
ing, proper swallowing, and begin nasal breathing
education with diaphragmatic muscle activation,
reduced, relaxed breathing as much as the patient is
able, nasal hygiene, isolation and activation of the
tongue muscles, range of motion of the lips, buccina-
tors, and zygomatic muscles, and reviewing func-
tional posture therapeutic techniques.
3. If ankyloglossia is present, the patient should be
enrolled in pre-frenuloplasty myofunctional therapy,
undergo surgical release of the lingual frenulum, and
then complete post-frenuloplasty exercises for
4–6weeks before embarking on maxillary mandibu-
lar advancement surgery.
4. Myofunctional therapy exercises should be
STOPPED prior to dental impressions and CT scan
for virtual surgical planning. The exercises prescribed
may in fact signicantly affect the alignment of the
teeth and thereby affect the accuracy of intraopera-
tive surgical splints.
5. Physical therapy to identify myofascial restrictions,
and work to improve asymmetries of the cranium,
mandible, spine, or pelvis that could adversely impact
surgical outcomes.
6. Identify and establish a plan to eliminate postural dysfunction and hurtful habits with the appropriate manual techniques, training, or interventions.
7. Fascia, scar, and injury assessment.

31.3 Acute Post-surgical

Techniques are individualized and are specic to each patient’s functions. These are a few of many techniques used:
1. Brush (use feather, soft brushes, or washrag) to stim-
ulate cheeks, lips, and tongue (5minutes, 3x/day).
2. Puff air into cheeks. Count to 5 on 4 sides (ve
times, 3x/day).
3. Range-of-motion exercises. Say “EEO OOH AHH”
(fteen times, 3x/day).
4. Tube chew (gently), start with 30seconds and work
up to 2minutes with lightweight surgical tubes cut into two-inch lengths. Encourage bilateral chewing. Re-engage the muscles of mastication and avoid atrophy of the muscles.
5. Power pucker (20 times, 3x/day). Close lips, lip seal,
suck back and release. This may assist in controlling excess saliva.
6. Diet: Increase textures slowly. Start with thin liq-
uids, then thick liquids, then soft food, increase up to more solid.
7. Follow modalities and techniques to decrease pain
and inammation.
8. Limit range of motion to rotation, avoiding transla-
tion (Richardson JK reference).
9. Intraoral massage and myofascial release.
10. Nerve desensitization and re- education.
11. Scar tissue management and mobilization.
12. Exercise sequential progressions to improve func-
tion, strength, and stability.
13. Emphasize on healthy sleep hygiene and habits.
14. Postural activities and self-cervical mobility exer-
cises.
15. If jaw joint replacement was performed, the patient
and therapist must work together to assist the patient to be cognizant of lateral movements with both normal functions and the exercise protocols. Many patients/therapists are not aware of habits and movements that could cause discomfort in the muscles surrounding the joints.

31.4 Long-Term Post-surgical

Habituation of these healthy habits and movement pat­terns will be essential to prevent relapse and return to those dysfunctions that contributed to the need for sur­gery (see . Fig. 31.3). Multidisciplinary approach to

ing improper tongue resting positioning. There is now more room for the tongue with the enlarged facial skeleton framework, but the tongue relapses to the preoperative position with a propensity for
management that includes myofunctional therapy, speech therapy, and physical therapy can alleviate the burden of managing postoperative complications from the surgery and signicantly increase patient outcomes and satisfaction. Optimal results are achieved when the therapy is initiated 3–4 months (depending on the sur­geon’s preference) preoperatively and continued for at least 6months and ideally 1 year after surgery.
31.5 Other Benets ofMyofunctional
Therapy
Recurrent or persistent OSA after maxillary mandibular advancement surgery can be frustrating for both patients and practitioners alike. OSA relapse after maxillary mandibular advancement surgery is not uncommon. Among those patients who have been cured of sleep apnea with jaw surgery, recurrent OSA has been reported even 10–15years after surgery [1]. The most predominant site of obstruction among these patients with persistent or recurrent OSA is the tongue-base [5]. Myofunctional therapy is an effective adjunct to sleep apnea surgery that has been shown to further reduce the AHI by approximately 50% in adults and 62% in children. Myofunctional therapy rehabilitates the tone of the
posterior inferior displacement. Myofunctional therapy will help him learn to position his tongue anteriorly and superiorly to rest against the hard palate
genioglossus muscle to prevent tongue-base collapse [6] and promotes closed-mouth nasal breathing [7]. It is a highly effective, noninvasive, and much safer alternative to other potential interventions (such as tongue- base reduction and tongue-base suspension) for patients with persistent OSA after MMA surgery, especially among those with upper airway resistance and/or mild- to­moderate sleep apnea.
31.6 Who Are Myofunctional Therapists
andWhere Can One Find aWell-Trained Therapist?
In different countries, different professionals have taken postgraduate training. In the United States, dental hygienists, physical therapists, osteopathic physicians, occupational therapists, or speech pathologists are likely candidates for the postgraduate training. Surgeons in the United States could encourage physical therapists they work with to do additional training in myofunc­tional therapy. In Brazil, it is mostly done by speech pathologists. In Japan, many dental hygienists have received the training. In other countries, it may be a combination of dental professionals, physical therapists, or speech pathologists.

The relationship between therapist and patient is the one in which trust, support, and motivation are all inter­twined so the patient feels they have their concerns addressed and are proactive about getting back into “shape” (procedures that a doctor might not have time for). Along with ongoing physiologic and emotional support and sleep hygiene, the therapist is the linchpin for the best possible surgical outcome/result, especially in the long term.
