Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Labiovelarise

👉 Labiovelarised is a term used in the field of dentistry to describe a condition where the palate (the hard, firm part of the jaw) covers the posterior teeth. This can occur due to an imbalance in tooth development or because there may be underlying issues with the structure of the jaw itself. It can also refer to a condition where there is not enough bone supporting the teeth, which can cause them to protrude from the gum line rather than being naturally aligned.

👉 Labiovelarise refers to the movement of the jaw muscles, which is a muscular contraction and relaxation process. It's often associated with the development of upper lip strength and the ability to open the mouth properly. The term comes from the Latin word "labiovelari" which means "the labial part", referring specifically to the soft tissue that covers the lower lip.
