Abstract
Oral dimensions do not appear to differ between patients who respond and those who do not respond to MAS treatment. However, the larger tongue for a given oral cavity size in responders suggests that MAS may help to correct anatomic imbalance. Further research to assess whether the ratio between tongue and bony oral enclosure size may be useful in selecting patients for MAS treatment is warranted.
