The relationship between malocclusion and the gastrointestinal system has only been examined occasionally, while several pertinent studies have addressed the chewing function as a functional link between oral structures and the gastrointestinal tract. Following an overview of the physiological masticatory process, the available evidence regarding associations among dental status, chewing function and gastrointestinal disorders are summarized. Finally, a review of the relationships between orthodontic deformities and mastication is presented.
错牙合畸形与胃肠系统之间的关系仅偶尔被研究，而一些相关研究已将咀嚼功能视为口腔结构与胃肠道之间的功能联系。在概述生理性咀嚼过程之后，总结了关于牙齿状况、咀嚼功能和胃肠疾病之间关联的现有证据。最后，对正畸畸形与咀嚼之间的关系进行了综述。
