title: [Mandibular angle and orthodontic treatment. Apropos of the possible therapeutic inversion of the direction of rotation of mandibular growth].
abstract: The spontaneous and therapeutic modifications of the mandibular angle suggest that the rotations of growth described by Björk are not inevitable but are due to lingual dysfunction, particularly involving the pharyngeal part. Adequate treatment can modify the widening and narrowing of this angle.
