Current Approaches in Myofunctional Orthodontics
Journal Title: Journal of Musculoskeletal Disorders and Treatment - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Functional matrix theory is the most widely accepted theory of craniofacial growth recently. Moss and Salentijn, have suggested that the craniofacial growth is the result of the changes in functional matrix. Accordingly, neither bone nor cartilage is responsible for the growth of the craniofacial skeleton. The growth of the face, is formed by the growth of the soft tissues as a result of functional requirements. The soft tissues grow; and bone and cartilage react.
