INTRODUCTION: Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMD) are characterized by abnormal lip, jaw, or tongue positions during rest, swallowing, or speech. Identifying indicators of OMD in children can be crucial for early intervention and treatment. However, the relationship between various potential indicators and OMD risk/severity is not well-established. --- PURPOSE: The study aimed to identify indicators that are predictive of a higher risk for OMD in children. By analyzing responses from a parent, the study sought to understand which variables and categories were most correlated with the risk and severity of OMD. --- METHODS: A questionnaire was distributed to parents, covering 10 categories which included medical history, dental, surgical, speech, feeding, and sleep. Responses were binary (yes/no). The dataset included 18 respondents. Statistical analyses such as descriptive statistics, frequency analysis, and Pearson correlation were conducted using SPSS. The focus was on identifying the correlation between individual indicators, categories, and the total OMD score. --- RESULTS: Overall, the survey identified several characteristics that were diagnostically significant. Sleep-related issues (like 'Breathes Loudly', 'Poor Sleep Quality', and 'Wakes up Tired') were strongly correlated with higher total OMD scores. Variables related to speech and habitual behaviors also demonstrated notable correlations. --- CONCLUSION: The study highlights potential indicators for OMD in children. Categories such as certain sleep behaviors, habitual behaviors, and speech deficits are positively correlated with increased OMD risk. These findings can inform clinicians and researchers about potential areas of focus for early intervention. Future research should further investigate these relationships to establish causality and develop a comprehensive screening tool for OMD in children.
