How your teeth affect your balance
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at how small disturbances to your posture affect your jaw and balance. It compares people with all their natural teeth to those who wear full dentures, to see if the type of teeth you have changes how your body responds.
