Abstract
From the mechanical point of view, human body is one of the deformable structures which are forced by gravity and the constriction forces of muscles. As a result of deformation, forward-positioned head, curved spine, narrow airway, narrow palatal bone and narrow tongue space, etc. are caused. The cause of the deformation might be efficient survival of life. The cause- and -effect relationship among airway, head posture and height is presented in this study.
