Tongue and Hyoid Bone Positions and Its Relations to the Mandibular Anterior Teeth: A Cone‐Beam Computed Tomography Study
The downward and forward positions of the tongue and hyoid bone at rest were related to anterior cross-bite but not to anterior open bite, indicating that the tongue position was related to the most anteriorly positioned teeth. The inferior and anterior positions of the tongue correspond to a constricted maxilla, skeletal Class III relationship, retroclined mandibular incisors and negative overjet.
