Progressive Biomechanical Remodeling (PBR)

Abstract: The Progressive Biomechanical Remodeling (PBR) theory presents a novel approach to craniofacial remodeling by exploring the effects of sustained, low-force mechanical pressure over time. Drawing from established principles of...

The Periodontal Mechanoadaptation Theory (PMT)

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...

Overbite Management through the Tooth Eruption ...

Abstract: This theoretical framework explores natural overbite correction through functional modifications that influence incisor eruption and mandibular morphology. Leveraging insights into the biological processes governing tooth eruption, this framework suggests that...

The Bilateral Forward Chewing Exercise Theory (...

Abstract While bone remodeling is more pronounced during growth and development, it continues throughout adulthood, allowing adults to experience changes in bone structure in response to mechanical stress. The extent...

Mechanotransduction Part 3: Why Mewing Works

Abstract Proper tongue posture, involving the intentional positioning of the tongue against the roof of the mouth, has gained considerable attention for its potential benefits in enhancing facial aesthetics and...

Mechanotransduction Part 2: Why Chewing Works

Abstract This paper continues part 1 and uncovers how chewing continues to reshape craniofacial bones beyond the years once thought to be the limit. It reveals the surprising adaptability of adult bone remodeling....
