Study Title: Investigation of the Effects of Tongue, Lip, and Cheek Pressures on the Development of Upper Jaw Narrowness Introduction and Hypothesis The structure of our face and the alignment of our teeth are influenced not only by our genetics but also by the surrounding soft tissues, such as the lips, cheeks, and tongue. These muscles exert constant pressure on our teeth and jawbones. According to the "Equilibrium Theory," teeth stay in their proper positions when the inward pressure from the lips and cheeks is balanced by the outward pressure from the tongue. The hypothesis of this study is that individuals with a narrow upper jaw (maxillary constriction) may have different muscle pressure patterns compared to those with normal jaw widths. We believe that identifying these pressure differences will help dentists and orthodontists better understand why jaw narrowness occurs and how
