Body posture affects jaw position and occlusion

the verdict
SUPPORTED
the evidence backs this
Recorded sources
5 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that body posture affects jaw position and occlusion?

Yes. Multiple clinical and biomechanical studies support the conclusion that body posture, head position, and spinal alignment are interconnected with jaw position and occlusal characteristics.

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 5 sources for, 0 against · Last checked

The analysis

The retrieved papers consistently report correlations and positional changes linking body posture (cervical spine, head position, trunk, or lower limb alignment) with jaw position, mandibular deviation, and occlusal parameters. There are no papers refuting the claim. Therefore, the balance of evidence clearly supports the statement.
