title: [Tongue retraining and occlusal stability in a young adult. Case report].
abstract: The clinical observation describes the case of a 20-year-old woman who has consulted for aesthetic and functional reasons. She presents a skeletal class III normodivergent, an occlusal class III with a lower proalveoli quite marked. In addition, a lingual dysfunction which manifests itself by important anterior diastema and dento-dental disharmony at the upper jaw complicates the case. The undertaken therapeutic project starts with a first step of a lingual praxis rehabilitation, followed by an orthodontic step and upper lateral incisors-plasty. The purpose of those results is the evaluation of the stability two years later, which was reported positive.
