Abstract
Hyoid bone is an insertion element for muscles, ligaments, and fasciae attaching to the mandible, clavicle, sternum, cranium and cervical spine. It is also unique structure because it has no bony articulation. The cervical fasciae are closely related to the hyoid system and these bind the anterior cervical spine to the hyoid bone as well as the infra and supra- hyoid muscles, which depends on the hyoid bone and its relationship with the cervical spine for normal function. Significance of the hyoid bone has been emphasized in recent years, after it was appreciated that dysfunctional factors affecting the hyoid system produce not only local, but also general effects so it is important to know anatomy, growth its position and also position changes in various conditions, before and after orthodontic treatment which may help in better outcome of orthodontic treatments.
