Posture checks for people with bite problems
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at how jaw alignment (malocclusion) relates to your overall posture. You will get a simple 3D spine scan to see if straightening your teeth might also help your body's alignment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a misaligned bite or jaw (skeletal malocclusion).
- You have a recent X-ray of your head and jaw from the side (lateral cephalometric radiograph).
- You can have a 3D posture test using a special spine system.
- You have not had braces or bite treatment before.
- You do not have serious spine or muscle problems, or a condition affecting your posture (like a neurological disorder).
