It provides insight into variables which are impossible to measure directly such as joint loads and individual muscle tensions, and into physical relationships between jaw structure and function. Individual parameters can be modified easily to understand their influence on function. Our models are ...
The tooth structure extends into the underlying jaw to form one or more tooth roots, which are somewhat longer than the crown. Around the roots is a sheet of tissue, the periodontal ligament, that contains a meshwork of collagen fibers extending from the cementum to surrounding alveolar bone,...
“Many dental professionals and orthodontists have expressed scepticism. Critics argue that facial structure and development are primarily determined by genetics, and altering these factors through tongue posture alone is unlikely to yield significant changes.” There is someresearch linking 'oral posture'...

Tooth-contact sensations are considered essential to boost jaw adductor muscles during mastication. However, no previous studies have explained the importance of the inhibitory reflex of human anterior-tooth (ANT)-contacts in mastication. Here I present
Bug Facers (Descendants of the Insectophagi)虫面族(食虫者的后代)Over time, their insectivorous ancestors came to resemble their prey. Hardened, leathery face-plates, once used for defense against stings and bites, ossified and became integrated into the jaw structure. Their hands and feet, with...

The jaw is a set of bones that forms the structure of the mouth and supports the teeth; the chin is the protruding part of the face below the mouth.
