We have treated 38 adults with ankyloglossia with deviation of the epiglottis and larynx.
1) The patients had type III occlusion of Angle's and had irregular teeth in the upper jaw.
2) The patients' chief complaints were shoulder stiffness, cold extremities, feeling of obstruction in the throat, insomnia, fatigue, snoring, irritated, dry skin, incorrect articulation and muscle cramps during physical activity, pregnancy and/or sleep.
3) Correction of the ankyloglossia and deviation of the epiglottis and larynx resulted in great relief of their chief complaints as well as their respiratory function.
4) In addition, patients said that they breathed more easily, could bite well, and that their joints could bend better. They also remarked that they were less angry.
However there were no significant changes in their incorrect articulations.
