Can you elevate and depress your mandible?

Yes, the mandible can be elevated and depressed. Elevation occurs when the jaw closes, bringing the teeth together, primarily through the action of the masseter and temporalis muscles. Depression happens when the jaw opens, allowing the mouth to open wider, facilitated by the digastric and mylohyoid muscles. These movements are essential for functions such as chewing and speaking.
