title = "Head and neck posture and upper spine morphology in relation to the craniofacial profile and orofacial function",
abstract = "Associations between posture of the head and neck, morphology of the craniofacial profile, dysfunction of the masticatory muscles and jaws and obstruction of the upper airway have been previously described. More recently, associations between upper spine morphology and the morphology of the craniofacial profile including the cranial base and associations between posture of the head and neck, and the upper spine morphology have been described. These findings indicate that posture of the head and neck and the upper spine morphology is a factor in the development of the craniofacial profile and orofacial function in terms of dysfunction of the masticatory muscles and jaws and obstruction of the upper airways. This knowledge is clinically valuable not only for the dentist and the orthodontist, but also for the physician and physiotherapist.",
