Design: It was a experimental study. Thirty-seven patients were included in the study. 18 in the study group received orthodontic treatment with removable appliances and 19 subjects were classified as normal occlusion subjects in the control group. A panoramic X-ray and digital intraoral scan were taken, followed by an surface electromyography of three muscle pairs (temporalis muscles, masseter muscles, sternocleidomastoid muscles) in resting position, while clenching and clenching on cotton rollers. Results: There was significantly greater activity in the experimental group than in the control group comparing muscles: temporalis muscles and masseter muscles in the resting position. Additionally, significantly greater activity of muscles in the control group was found during clenching. However, the asymmetry index of muscles indicates that there is significantly greater asymmetry of muscles activity in the experimental group. Compared to children with normal occlusion, children with a narrowed transverse dimension of the jaw have statistically significant differences in the bioelectrical activity of the temporalis, masseter and sternocleidomastoid muscles, as well as greater asymmetry in the bioelectrical voltage of the masseter muscles. Conclusions: Patients with reduced transverse dimension of the jaw are characterized by increased resting activity of the masticatory muscles and reduced functional activity of the masticatory muscles.
