Tongue posture directly

affects maxilla remodeling.

When the tongue is correctly on the roof of

the mouth, maxilla is remodeled up

correct position, maxilla misses its forces

and remodels down and backwards

(bottom case).

Notice the difference in cheekbones, eyes

support, nose shape, length of the face

and lips shape
