Orthodontics in a quantum world III: electromagnetic field theory and oral parafunction Author: James G. Conference/Journal: Int J Orthod Milwaukee. Date published: 2008 Fall Other: Volume ID: 19 , Issue ID: 3 , Pages: 31-6 , Word Count: 72 The study of electromagnetic field theory and bioenergy has established that there is an extensive communication system throughout the body by way of a functional matrix. This enables the body to use the mouth to assist it during the expenditure of effort elsewhere in the body. A variety of oral behaviors can be identified as contributing to this. To some extent, these behaviors indicate where an imbalance is present in the body.
