dc.description.abstractAn analysis has been made of muscles and their relationship to structural configuration in Class I, Class II, and Class III malocclusions. The effect of muscle forces is three-dimensional, although most orthodontists have considered it only in one vector--that of expansion. Whenever there is a struggle between muscle and bone, bone yields.5 Muscle function can be adaptive to morphogenetic pattern. A change in muscle function can initiate morphologic variation in the normal configuration of the teeth and supporting bone, or it can enhance an already existing malocclusion. In the latter instance, the inherent structural malrelationship calls for compensatory or adaptive muscle activity to perform the daily functions. The structural abnormality is increased by compensatory muscle activity to the extent that a balance is reached between pattern, environment, and physiology. At times it is impossible to assign a specific cause-and-effect role to any one factor. It is imperative that the orthodontist appraise muscle activity and that he conduct his orthodontic therapy in such a manner that the finished result reflects a balance between the structural changes obtained and the functional forces acting on the teeth and investing tissues at that time.en_US
