In the orthodontic treatment, not only the corrective orthodontics in the permanent dentition but also the interceptive dentofacial orthopedics in the growing period are accepted as necessary therapeutic measures. However, neither the pathogenic process of malocclusion nor the clinical significance of interception have been fully clarified. From the beginning of our Department in 1978, we have carried clinics and researches into effect to find clinical and basic evidences of this field. Based on the recent researches, the orofacial complex has close relationship with the locomotive functioning of head and neck and also of whole body. Among the pathogenic factors of malocclusion, the present paper deals with masticatory function and posture and explains their participation in the growth and development of orofacial complex.
