These muscles exert constant pressure on our teeth and jawbones. According to the \"Equilibrium Theory,\" teeth stay in their proper positions when the inward pressure from the lips and cheeks is balanced by the outward pressure from the tongue.\n\nThe hypothesis of this study is that individuals with a narrow upper jaw (maxillary constriction) may have different muscle pressure patterns compared to those with normal jaw widths. We believe that identifying these pressure differences will help dentists and orthodontists better understand why jaw narrowness occurs and how to achieve more stable results after treatment.\n\nWhat is Being Measured? To measure these delicate pressures, we use a specialized, high-tech device called the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI). This device uses a small, air-filled balloon (bulb) that the patient presses with their tongue or lips. It allows us to measure muscle strength and endurance in \"kilopascals\" (a unit of pressure) without any pain or discomfort.\n\nStudy Procedure\n\nThis study will involve patients aged 12 to 25 who are seeking orthodontic treatment at Van Yüzüncü Yıl University. We will divide the participants into two groups:\n\nPatients with a narrow upper jaw.\n\nPatients with a normal upper jaw width (the control group).\n\nBefore any orthodontic braces are applied, we will measure:\n\nTongue Pressure: How hard the tongue can push against the roof of the mouth.\n\nLip Pressure: The strength of the upper and lower lips.\n\nCheek (Buccal) Pressure: The pressure exerted by the cheeks during rest and function.\n\nImportance of the Study While many studies have looked at how these muscles affect the forward or backward position of teeth, there is very little research on how they affect the width of the jaw. By comparing these two groups, we hope to discover whether \"weak\" or \"overactive\" muscles contribute to a narrow palate. This information could lead to new treatment methods that focus not just on moving teeth, but also on training the oral muscles to ensure that the beautiful smiles created by orthodontists last a lifetime.",[29],"Maxillary Transversal Deficiency (Maxillary Constriction) and Perioral Muscle Pressures (Tongue, Lip, and Cheek)",[31,32,33,34],"Maxillary transversal deficiency","Perioral muscle pressure","Tongue and lip strength","Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI)","RECRUITING","2026-04-20",{"date":38,"type":39},"2026-04-27","ACTUAL",{"date":41,"type":23},"2026-05-01",{"date":43,"type":23},"2026-12-01",{"name":45,"class":46},"Yuzuncu Yil University","OTHER"]
