title: [Biomechanical aspects of maxillofacial development and their clinical significance for orthodontics].
abstract: In the present article, the authors deal with the application of biomechanics to the midfacial development and its significance in orthodontics. Research results permit to assume that the functions of position, respiration and space may act on the morphological development of the skull. This was confirmed by clinical studies.
