Jaws are the parts constituting the walls of the mouth and serving to open and close. There are two jaws: the upper jaw is composed of the maxilla, and the lower jaw is made up of the mandible. When we look at the side of face, we can see that the lower part moves when we talk or chew. The movement occurs at the temporomandibular joint.

摘要

Jaws are the parts constituting the walls of the mouth and serving to open and close. There are two jaws: the upper jaw is composed of the maxilla, and the lower jaw is made up of the mandible. When we look at the side of face, we can see that the lower part moves when we talk or chew. The movement occurs at the temporomandibular joint.
