"Gnathos" is a term commonly used in dentistry and refers to the part of the skull that includes the jaws and their associated structures. It is derived from the Greek word "gnathos," which means "jaw." The gnathos plays a crucial role in the function of the mouth, including chewing, biting, and speaking. In addition, the gnathos is important for the appearance of the face, as well as for the alignment and health of the teeth. Dental professionals often focus on the gnathos when diagnosing and treating conditions such as malocclusion (misalignment of the teeth and jaws), temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD), and other jaw-related issues.
