Poor posture or orthopedic misalignments, such as a shorter leg, affect the entire posture of the body, right down to the temporomandibular joint. Likewise, an incorrect bite position can negatively affect posture.These relationships result from the fact that the body always acts in its entirety. No part of the body is independent, everything influences each other. In the case of malpositioning of the jaw, it is therefore necessary to consider not only the jaw in isolation, but also the entire body.It may also be possible to achieve a change in the position of the jaw through posture correction by an orthopedist or physiotherapist, without having to intervene dentally. If incorrect posture has already set in motion a reaction pattern that has led to CMD, it is important to treat not only symptomatically, but causally.
