“…For 20 papers, the full texts were obtained and read in full. Of these, nine [1,5,10,13,14,16,25,30,32] met the eligibility criteria. Searching the main orthodontic journals further revealed four potentially suitable papers, of which none appeared eligible after full text reading.…”

“…Potential confounding factors (see Online Appendix 1) were defined and assessed in all selected studies, but were analyzed in only three [1,13,25]. In only three studies [14,16,32], the sample was clearly defined and representative.…”

“…In only three studies [14,16,32], the sample was clearly defined and representative. The sample size was justified and satisfactory in only two studies [1,13]. For all studies, except one [16], the outcome data of (nearly) all participants were available.…”

“…Three studies [14,16,25] did not (or only partly) used appropriate statistical analysis. Overall, the potential risk of bias of the included studies was estimated to be "low" for one [1], "serious" for two [14,16] and "moderate" for the other seven studies. Because the ten papers provided heterogeneous outcome parameters, publication bias could not be assessed.…”

Purpose To systematically search the scientific literature concerning the influence of playing a wind instrument on tooth position and/or facial morphology. Methods The PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane databases were searched up to September 2019. Orthodontic journals were hand searched and grey literature was sought via Google Scholar. Observational studies and (randomized) controlled clinical trials that assessed tooth position and/or facial morphology by profile cephalograms, dental casts or clinical examination were included. The potential risk of bias was assessed. Data from wind instrument players and controls were extracted. Descriptive analysis and meta-analysis were performed. Results In total, 10 eligible studies with a cross-sectional (n = 7) or longitudinal design (n = 3) and an estimated low to serious risk of bias were included. Sample sizes ranged from 36 to 170 participants, varying from children to professional musicians. Descriptive analysis indicated that adults playing a single-reed instrument may have a larger overjet than controls. Playing a brass instrument might be associated with an increase in maxillary and mandibular intermolar width among children. Longitudinal data showed less increase in anterior facial height among brass and single-reed players between the age of 6 and 15. Children playing a wind instrument showed thicker lips than controls. Meta-analysis revealed that after a follow-up of 6 months to 3 years, children playing brass instruments had a significant reduction in overjet as compared to controls. The magnitude of the effect was of questionable clinical relevance and the generalizability was limited. Conclusions Playing a wind instrument can influence tooth position and facial morphology in both children and adults. Aspects that stand out are overjet, arch width, facial divergence/convergence and lip thickness. However, evidence was sparse and the strength of the premise emerging from this review was graded to be "very low".

Background: Recent studies have shown an association between playing wind instruments and their impact on the orofacial system. However, they have not fully evaluated all aspects of the topic, leaving a gap in the overall understanding. Methods: A thorough search of the National Library of Medicine database was conducted using our research strategy, resulting in the identification of relevant studies. An expert perspective was obtained by conducting two in-depth expert interviews with a professor of horn-playing and a specialised dentist. Results: Thirty-seven relevant publications were included in the traditional literature review. The most common diseases among professional wind instrumentalists include the lip area, temporomandibular joint, oral mucosa, respiratory system, oral allergic reactions, and orofacial trauma. Special measures, preventive measures, and expert opinions were utilised to address and overcome the associated orofacial problems. Conclusions: Wind instruments affect the oral health and tooth movement of professional instrumentalists, and dentists should consider the impact of dental changes on embouchure and performance. Dental impressions and three-dimensional intra-oral scans are important for reconstruction. This research highlights the need for specialised dental care for professional wind instrumentalists, and further studies are necessary to fully explore this topic.
