title: Patients treated with orthodontic-myofunctional therapeutic protocol.
abstract: The aim of this study is to report  three  cases that needed myofunctional and orthodontic treatment and the good results achieved after the therapy. Orthodontic treatment alone, in presence of bad habits, is not enough to solve the orthodontic issues, so it needs to be combined with myofunctional treatment.
