Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some help understanding the term 'orofacial'. What does it mean? I'm interested in learning more about the topic, so I'd really appreciate any help or advice that anyone can offer. Does anyone have any insight about what orofacial is and how it relates to other areas of health and medicine? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Orofacial is an interdisciplinary field of dentistry and medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of facial and oral conditions. It is a broad field that covers a variety of topics from oral cancer to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. It also includes topics related to the aesthetics of the face and mouth, including the prevention and treatment of facial trauma and cosmetic procedures. Additionally, orofacial includes the diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea, snoring, and other sleep-related breathing disorders.
