Nutrition plays a major role from a very early age, not only in the formation of teeth in the
maternal womb but also from the moment the teeth erupt and we begin to eat.
This is because digestion starts in the mouth. Thanks to the teeth we will be able to crush
the food and carry out this mechanical digestion. Hence the importance of dental structures
being in the correct position so that the food bolus can be well formed and the nutrients
correctly absorbed.
Also in the digestive process, swallowing plays an important role in this film. The position
of the tongue for correct swallowing is crucial. Many times there are myofunctional habits
that prevent this from being carried out correctly.
When carrying out an orthodontic treatment, many structures must be remodeled, so it is
advisable to choose foods with nutritional value that provide us with the necessary vitamins
and minerals to carry out this process
