## Posturology and posturodontics

Did you know that your back pain could be dental in origin?
You suffer from a disorder like difficulty in concentrating, fatigue at work, etc.
(e.g., lifting, tinnitus, migraines, back pain) the symptoms are unexplained and consistent?)
It may be time to check if the way you bite your teeth
is balanced...

## Explanations

If the individual stands upright in space, positions themselves in relation to their environment and balances themselves in movement, that **is thanks to their postural system**.

We often think of the inner ear as the fundamental element of this system. However, clinical and scientific reality shows us that the postural system has several inputs called "sensors" that are much more prone to disruptions than the inner ear, which is firmly embedded in the skull. The "sensors" that dominate the postural system are: **the foot and the eye**.

The eye, the foot, joints, muscles, tendons, or skin are classically associated with the postural system. On the other hand, we often forget that **the temporomandibular joint** (which links your mandible and your skull) **constitutes an obvious "sensor" of the outside world and participates entirely in postural balance.**. The masticatory system (including the teeth) is therefore directly involved in case of dysfunction.

**By what mechanism?**

When the occlusion is well balanced, the teeth maintain and stabilize the position of the mandible and, therefore, t**he craniomandibular position.** Otherwise, the temporomandibular joint is unbalanced and can be excessively strained. These tensions will first have repercussions at the cranial level**(headaches, difficulty concentrating, tiredness on rising, tinnitus**, etc.). Then, through the muscular chains, they will cascade down to the descending postural system**(cervical, back, lumbar, hips, knees, ankles, feet,** etc.).

## Posturology and posturodontics

##  Where do the imbalances come from & how can equilibrium be restored?

**Where do the imbalances come from?**

Postural imbalance and the pain it causes are often due to
an accumulation of external elements to which the body has
adapted (**falls, accidents, orthodontics, carrying heavy loads,
sports practices, bad posture at work, etc.).** As long as
you compensate for your imbalance, you most likely won't see any signs. But,
when these sensors are out of balance, they disturb the balance and end up
negatively affecting the body in a dysfunctional way. In the event of a malfunction, it generates
**pain, tension, fatigue** and **discomfort** and limits our efforts
to prevent it from "breaking."

**How do we get back to a balanced situation?**

By **evaluating postural dysfunctions** and **determining the priority
therapy** (dental, podal, ocular, scarring),
osteopathic, etc.).
If there are any, eliminating **the dysfunctions related to the teeth**, the
mandible and temporomandibular joints should be pursued.

It is first necessary to establish an adequate and complete diagnosis.
Many of our practices are adequately equipped to provide you with
a unique consultation opportunity in Switzerland: '' **The NLS protocol** '' (Native
localization scan)
