Abstract
The use of therapeutic resources can facilitate and enable the proposed objectives in the intervention in orofacial motricity, through the prior orofacial myofunctional evaluation of each individual. However, there is no description of the marketing profile of these resources. Thus, the objective of this letter is to provide reflection on the use of these resources in the context of the Brazilian reality. Through a search on two commercial websites with a large reach in Speech-Language Pathology, the low-tech therapeutic resources marketed in Brazil for use in the intervention in orofacial motricity were listed. There was a predominance of those aimed at improving orofacial muscle and respiratory function. It is noteworthy, however, that the marketing of therapeutic resources was not always linked to randomized clinical trials.
