Abstract This book is a practical guide for applying neuromuscular principles to orthodontics. It is designed to meet the needs of dental students and practitioners. The book provides a solid foundation in neuromuscular dentistry, explaining the basic anatomy and ideal functioning of the mouth and jaw. It covers important techniques like mandibular tracking, TENS, and surface EMG, which are used for diagnosing, planning treatment, and monitoring progress. The last chapter features case studies with Kinesiography, showing the long-term outcomes after treatment. The information in the book is presented clearly and written in an easy-to-understand style.
