Abstract
In a normal jaw with intact lips and palate, the muscles of the lip, cheek, and pharynx exert their normal sphincter-like actions against the developing maxillary and mandibular arches. The compressive external muscular forces neutralize the expansion forces of the tongue (Fig. 4.1). The neonatal arch form changes as these forces change with growth and maturation, yet the opposing muscles always maintain a precise and dynamic balance with each other. When this muscular balance is upset, the arch form and teeth relationships change.
