Abstract　： Dental medicine revolves around the study of occlusion. The basis of occlusion is not simply the interdigitation of the aligned teeth in both the upper and lower jaws, but a combination of their positional relationship and the functional movement of the mandible. This is controlled by a complex system of functional elements, i.e. the masticatory muscles, neuromuscular system, TMJ function etc., which serve as the basis of dental treatment. Orthodontics, a branch of dental medicine, constructs an occlusion by correcting misaligned teeth. In Prosthodontics, the recontouring of tooth crowns, as the primary measure in bite construction, is an important approach in improving malocclusion. Therefore, in clinical practice, especially in orthodontics, it is essential to fully understand the physiology of occlusal function and the biology of tooth movement. However, so far, these important topics have not been satisfactorily dealt with in orthodontics. Looking at the history of the subject, the development of orthodontics has tended to focus more on orthodontic appliances and their improvement.
