Overbite
Class II malocclusion
Normal bite
Normal occlusion
Underbite
class III malocclusion
A child with the receded lower jaw probably has what kind of malocclusion?
Class II
A child with a protruded upper jaw probably has what type of Malocclusion?
Class II
A child with missing or misaligned teeth has what type of malocclusion?
Normal
A child with the receded upper jaw probably has what type of malocclusion?
Class III malocclusion
Dental Malocclusions found in normal speakers suggest that dental abnormalities are not exclusive causes of articulation disorders
True
Dental arch malocclusions themselves do not always cause articulation disorders
True
Missing teeth though they may be associated with higher frequency of misarticulations are neither sufficient or necessary to cause articulation disorders
True
A short lingual frenum
Ankyloglossia
Was believed to limit the tongue tip movement necessary to produce certain speech sounds
Ankyloglossia
There’s no evidence to suggest that ankyloglossia is a factor in a majority of children who misarticulate
True
The total or partial surgical removal of a diseased tongue
Glossectomy
Adults whose tongue has been partially surgically removed may still attain intelligible speech, though there may be errors of articulation, especially in producing fricatives and plosives.
True
What can result from clefts of the hard palate that are not surgically closed?
They can be expected to affect sound production
When are clefts of the hard palate usually closed?
Clefts of the hard palate are initially closed within the first two years of life with no significant permanent effects on articulation.
The soft palate or the velum is important for what parts in speech?
Articulation and resonance
A closure of the velopharyngeal port is necessary to prevent/ do what three things?
- To prevent unwanted nasal residence on oral sounds
- Maintain desirable oral resonance
- To build intraoral air pressure to produce certain consonants known as pressure consonants
What types of consonants are pressure consonants?
Fricatives, stops, and affricates
Difficulty in the closing the nasal port for the production of oral sounds
Velopharyngeal inadequacy
Why does velopharyngeal inadequacy make it difficult to build intraoral air pressure?
Because air leaks through the nasal cavity
