Spearman correlation coefficient (significance at

*The results showed that there were statistically significant differences between
sexes, considering the variables assessed by the MFIQ instrument (Regarding the MFIQ instrument, no statistically significant differences were found
between the groups at T1 and T2 in terms of the functional capacity, nutrition, and
functional limitation. The medians obtained from the total score for functional
limitation in both groups were of low intensity. These results, reveal that the
limitation caused by both appliances was similar, as previously reported.A greater impact was noticed in both groups at T1 than at T2. This probably occurred
because the participants begin to get accustomed to the appliance and to the changes
that occurred in their mouth. Despite this, the scores at T2 were lower in both
groups, with no statistically significant difference between them, suggesting that
the patients were adapted. Moreover, as the pain decreased concomitantly, the
patients’ activities became unaltered. The equivalence between the symptomatology during RME and between the two evaluated
appliances is extremely important data for the literature, because both appliances
were well-tolerated by the patients. One should consider that the hybrid Hyrax
generates a slightly higher cost, due to requiring intraoral scanning. However,
considering the advantages observed in the reduction of side effects,
