bones of the mouth
Q: What are the bones that make up
the mouth?
A: Five major bones make up the
structure of the mouth. They are the
mandible, which is the lower jawbone;
the maxilla, the two bones of the upper
jaw, and two bones called palatal bones
that form the roof of the mouth.
The mandible, an arch-shaped bone,
is the strongest, thickest bone in your
skull. The mandible, in fact, is the only
bone that moves when you open and
close your mouth. It pivots on rounded
knobs called "condyles". The condyles
pivot and slide at what are called the
"temporomandibular joints", also
called TMJs. (You may have heard of
TMJ syndrome, which is a condition
that can develop with those joints.)
The two bones of the upper jaw
extend upward and backward from the
teeth to the bases of the cheek and nose
bones. Like other bones in the cranium,
or the skull, a thin line of connective
tissue called a "suture" joins the two
palatal bones. As with many other parts
of the body, the suture is flexible and
easily stretched during infancy and
childhood. It becomes more rigid with
age. This is in fact that figures
prominently in orthodontic treatment.
Talk with your dentist about the
underlying structure of your mouth and
about steps you can take to keep all of
them healthy and functioning the way
they ought to.
