Emerging research suggests that chewing may play a critical role in shaping the jaw and overall facial structure. Through the process of mechanotransduction, the forces generated by mastication trigger cellular responses int, influencing bone remodeling in the jaw. This article explores the implications of these findings for craniofacial development and adult jaw maintenance, shedding light on the connection between diet, chewing habits, and jaw health. Discover how understanding these processes could transform orthodontic approaches and enhance facial aesthetics.
