It plays an important role in re-education movement patterns, as well as in the correction of the fascial system. Kinesiotaping is well tolerated by patients. It can be an isolated treatment method as well as a factor promoting other forms of the therapy. Aim of the study.

In the search the following words were used: kinesiotaping, kinesio tape, facial kinesiotaping, TMJ kinesiotaping, masseter kinesiotaping, orthognathic surgery kinesiotaping. Results. The literature review showed a wide range of kinesiotaping applications in patients with cranio-mandibular and cranio-facial disorders.Conclusions.
