Our posture shows the continuous adaptation of our body’s bone-articular and muscular structures to various external stimuli. There is a correlation between body posture and chewing. For example, some asymmetries of orthopedic interest (scoliosis) are attributable to certain malocclusions or tooth-facial asymmetries, and vice versa. The treatment must be, therefore, often cross-disciplinary and should be managed through the collaboration of different specialists: orthopaedics, physiatrists, osteopaths, physiotherapists, etc.<\/p>\n
Posture control and correction of certain malocclusions are particularly important during body growth and development. Orthognathic (jaw correction) treatment with an inter-disciplinary approach during growth can correct, improve or prevent the worsening of many asymmetries and postural imbalances.<\/p>\n
Even in adults, some abnormalities in chewing and facial bones can compromise the function of temporal-mandibular joints, masticatory (chewing) muscles, spine alignment and posture. Symptoms range from headache to cervical pain and rachialgia (neck and back pain), from articular noises to functional blocks.<\/p>\n
