title: Inter- relationships between orthodontics and posture: basic theories.
abstract: The first part of the present report deals mainly with the concept of posture - both in static and in dynamic sense - its relationships with equilibrium, weight balance and motion, its phylogenic origin, reasons why any orthodontic professional should be aware of it; moreover, different profile types and their connections with one's own skeletal class are briefly discussed. Two more papers are following on the subject.
