Figure 3. Examples of model results for biting tasks. (A) Predicted I/C muscle force ratios for molar biting tasks at a range of bite force angles that created moments equivalent to in vivo biting at lateral, center, and medial positions. MJL model predictions for masseter (
) and anterior temporalis (
) muscles and MME model predictions for masseter (
) and anterior temporalis (X) muscles are shown for subject f1. Please note the discontinuity of scale in the vertical axis. (B) Predicted normalized muscle forces for incisor biting tasks at a range of bite force angles that created moments equivalent to in vivo biting at posterior, center, and anterior positions. Masseter muscle force predictions from MJL model ( subject f1, 
subject m5) and from MME model ( subject f1, 
subject m5), and anterior temporalis muscle force predictions from MJL model ( subject f1, 
subject m5) and from MME model (
subject f1, • subject m5).
