Abstract

Traditionally, goals of orthodontic treatment fall into four categories: good tooth alignment, improvement of skeletal profile and good soft tissue, and rehabilitation of the normal function. Electromyography (EMG) has proven as useful tool in evaluating masticatory function among the maxillomandibular relationship and could be useful in accompanying orthodontic treatment objectives. But in pursuit of clinical application, it is necceassry to systemize clinical guideline for diagnosis by EMG records in evaluating the effects of orthodontic, orthopedic, or surgical treatment. This study present 3 orthodontic cases, which treatment results, ie neuromuscular balances of masticatory muscle, could be moitered by EMG procedure.
