The Functional Matrix Hypothesis (FMH), proposed by Melvin L. Moss in the 1960s, established a paradigm shift in craniofacial biology by attributing skeletal growth primarily to the functional demands of soft tissues rather than intrinsic bone determinants. Moss proposed that bone responds secondarily to changes in functional matrices such as muscles, orofacial spaces, and neurocranial contents. Over the decades, empirical evidence from animal models, human developmental studies, and orthodontic clinical practice has expanded and modified FMH.

The Functional Matrix Hypothesis (FMH), proposed by Melvin L. Moss in the 1960s, established a paradigm shift in craniofacial biology by attributing skeletal growth primarily to the functional demands of soft tissues rather than intrinsic bone determinants. Moss proposed that bone responds secondarily to changes in functional matrices such as muscles, orofacial spaces, and neurocranial contents. Over the decades, empirical evidence from animal models, human developmental studies, and orthodontic clinical practice has expanded and modified FMH. Contemporary knowledge integrates FMH with epigenetics, mechanotransduction, and systems biology, offering a refined understanding of craniofacial growth. This review synthesizes historical foundations, theoretical principles, biological mechanisms, clinical applications, and modern interpretations of FMH, highlighting its relevance and limitations in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning.
