Culture, industrialisation and the shrinking human face: Why is it important? Over the past 300,000 years, not only has the way we consume food from birth through our lifetime changed, there have also been changes related to the methods of food preparation, availability, processing, and storage. These diet-related factors, along with other epigenetic factors, have led to a widespread increase in orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMDs) and resultant human malocclusion phenotypes (HMPs) worldwide. Currently there is an increasing need for resolution of HMPs in early childhood and associated OMDs. This review will include reports of cases and describe the nature of the problem and strategies for effective solutions.
文化、工业化与人类面型的缩小：为什么这很重要？在过去的 30 万年中，我们从出生到一生中所食用的食物的获取方式发生了变化，与食物准备、可获得性、加工和储存相关的方法也发生了变化。这些与饮食相关的因素，以及其他表观遗传因素，导致了口面肌功能障碍（OMD）和由此产生的人类错颌畸形表型（HMP）在全球范围内的广泛增加。目前，人们越来越需要在儿童早期解决 HMP 和相关的 OMD 问题。本综述将包括病例报告，并描述问题的性质和有效的解决方案策略。
