Can Your Jaw Affect Your Posture?
In recent years, many researchers have investigated the various factors influencing body posture: foot proprioception, visual systems, and the inner ear.
Recent studies indicate that the jaw plays a role in body posture.
These studies suggest that tension in the jaw can contribute to impaired neural control of posture.
If the proprioceptive information of the stomatognathic system is inaccurate, then head control and body position may be affected.
Change in the mandibular position leads to changes in the proprioceptive and periodontal afferents, which affect the center of foot pressure (COP).
Conversely, changes in body posture may also affect mandibular position.
Positive correlations between different craniofacial morphologies and postural attitudes have been reported.
For example, an anteriorly displaced posture in Class Il malocclusion, and a posteriorly displaced posture in Class Ill malocclusion.
So your jaw position DOES affect your posture.
This is especially relevant to those invested in athletic pursuits.
According to this research, the correlation between malocclusion, posture, and balance can have a dramatic impact on performance.
