This book presents the neurobiology of orthodontics according to the most recently
acquired knowledge on the interaction of the brain activity with the senses. In particular,
it highlights the ability of orofacial sensory input to modulate and change the brain
activity underlying functions of the stomatognathic system, such as chewing, biting,
speech, and occlusal feedback. The approach adopted thereby represents a significant
departure from traditional orthodontics, in which malocclusions of the teeth have
been interpreted as deriving from DNA coding errors. The described new conceptualization
of the etiology and diagnosis of malocclusions has profound implications for orthodontic
therapy, as is clearly explained. Orthodontic therapy in turn has significant effects
on the brain, which are documented in a chapter devoted to neuroimaging methods
