</html><description>phonetics is the study of speech sounds and how they are produced and heard. In dentistry, phonetics refers to using speech sounds to evaluate tooth position, bite relationships, and oral appliance design. It is commonly used when planning or adjusting dentures, crowns, veneers, and other restorations that affect the front teeth and palate. Clinicians also use phonetics as a practical &#x201C;real-world&#x201D; check of comfort and function during try-ins and follow-up visits.</description></oembed>
