Common malocclusions are discussed in relation to their impact on specific speech sounds, highlighting the role of tongue position, lip competence, and neuromuscular coordination.Written for dental students, orthodontic trainees, and practicing clinicians, the text follows an evidence-based and clinically oriented approach. Complex concepts are presented in a simplified, structured manner with emphasis on clinical correlation and interdisciplinary management. By bridging orthodontics and speech pathology, this book seeks to promote holistic diagnosis and collaborative treatment planning, ultimately improving functional outcomes and patient care.
