functional treatments: sometimes, due to the action of the muscles or tongue, dental alterations occur and in this specialty a series of exercises are worked on that the patient must perform at home to avoid or modify these habits and thus correct them to prevent them from being more serious (tongue thrust, lip thrust, swallowing, oral breathing…)
