Understanding why
Understanding the Orofacial Complex was written to facilitate greater understanding of anatomy and physiology of the orofacial complex and provide philosophy for treatment. Clear understanding of the orofacial complex increases the professionals ability to appropriately diagnose and treat disorders associated. The complex consists of the jaw, lips, tongue, soft palate, and larynx. This text provides philosophical understanding of the development and interaction of the orofacial complex from the beginning of conception.
