Chewing

Chewing is the first function of the manducatory or eating system and involves the teeth.
Correctly-aligned teeth and properly coordinated dental arches are essential for a good chewing action.

Chewing should be carried out with the mouth closed, alternating between the right and left side.

Chewing plays an important role in the development of the skull and the face.

Hearty foods help to optimize the growth of the bones: crunching an apple, for example.
