Abstract
- Abnormal functions, such as mouth breathing, swallowing, and unilateral chewing, and aberrant postures of the oral circumferential muscles, such as forwards tongue thrust, tongue biting, and low tongue at rest, can also contribute to the development of malocclusion. Even the most conservative of orthodontists would admit that aberrant tongue movement is a common contributor to misaligned teeth. This research was conducted with the intention of shedding light on the tongue's structure and development, as well as its functions and orthodontic consequences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
