Uberon Structure note : Specifically, the connection is made between the maxillary or mandible to the cementum
of the tooth. The motion of a gomphosis is very minimal, though considerable movement
can be achieved over time--the basis of using braces to realign teeth. The joint can
be considered a synarthrosis or an amphiarthrosis. The gomphosis is the only joint-type
in which a bone does not join another bone, as teeth are not technically bone. In
modern, more anatomical, joint classification, the gomphosis is simply considered
a fibrous joint because the tissue linking the structures is ligamentous[WP];
