How Braces Can Influence Your Posture (not necessarily in a good way).

  • Your posture and jaw/teeth are directly linked both muscularly and neurologically.

    This interview is with Frank Mallon, a physical therapist in the Philadelphia area who integrates the discipline of Postural Restoration with dentistry for patients who need it.
    When your posture is not good, your jaw might not be positioned correctly for proper orthodontic treatment. How could this be? Because your jaw hangs off of your head, but it's muscular connections are to the neck. If you are in a forward head posture, and thus your neck has lost it's natural curve, or lordosis, your jaw may not be resting in its optimal centric position. Any orthodontic treatment may lock you into a faulty forward head posture which then has repercussions upon the rest of the body. This is why any adult who is considering getting braces should be evaluated by a Postural Restoration Therapist first, to make sure that there body is "centered" before starting orthodontics.

      The ratio of dentists who studied PRI is almost ZERO, and if you find a PRI practitioner that collaborates with a dentists, then it is usually that both have no clue what is happening and are just guessing -- don't waste your money, unless you meet Ron himself, or get a second opinion. When your nervous system is on edge, you will react to any sensory change -- be smart, use splints only if you are sure you need it, not just because of some PRI fantasy shared by someone that worked for him.

      For some professions, it's better to remain ignorant, for liability issues. The jaw is 100000% involved in posture (just do a Pubmed search) and since your pelvis is the foundation of your posture and your breathing, and your jaw/head is connected to your pelvis via the spine.....it's just willful ignorance on their part.

    I’m going to watch a lot more of this video later so apologies if this was already answered in the video, but do you(or anyone you know of) have any experience with working with an adult as they go through gradual ‘palatal expansion’ treatment? I’m definitely not going with any sort of rapid palatal expander as this would virtually be guaranteed to worsen my right torsion, but I absolutely need to move my teeth and gradually expand my palate to have a sustainable, stable, neutral posture from my head to my toes. I had my underbite camouflaged as a kid in a very unsustainable way and now I have quite an underdeveloped maxilla. Luckily, my camouflaged underbite and openbite aren’t too severe so I think I should be able to avoid surgery altogether. I’m at a tossup between the ALF appliance and the DNA appliance. I feel that the ALF would be a safer bet, but would likely take a lot longer. Have you heard of right torsions being treated with a DNA appliance? Thank you for everything 🙏

Also idk if you guys are talking about tongue at all in this video but it seems tongue stabilizing (mewing if you will) is also crucial and I dont know if I've come across a Jon video about it yet. Helps further with stabilization and demonstrates if there's not enough pallet room for the tongue.

    Hey Neal, this video saved me from undergoing an orthodontic treatment that could have caused permanent cranial torsion.
    After consulting with several orthodontists, I finally found one who makes centric relation splints and understands the importance of the underlying structures, not just the teeth. While the splint improved my neck range of motion (and by extension, my ribcage and pelvis), it didn't completely resolve my cranial twisting issues.
    I've since learned of the importance of proper tongue posture and also discovered that I have a narrow and asymmetrical palate which is preventing me from fully placing my tongue on it-specifically, the right side is narrower and steeper, causing the left side of my tongue to engage more.
    Could you make a video explaining how narrow and asymmetrical palates relate to neck and cranial compensatory patterns, and how to address this issue?

I used to play guitar professionally, but can no longer even play it as a hobby due to being in constant pain due to excessive muscle tension (gone on for years).

      It really depends on the person. But the reality is, if someone develops pain in their knee or hip after orthodontic treatment, they usually won't suspect the orthodontic treatment. They will get PT for their hurting body part. So the sample size is pretty small....I have plenty of people who come see me for bodily pain, and to say that they are shocked to realize their jaw/teeth are locking them up is an understatement. But they can't deny what they are seeing: they lack joint range of motion is their hips and shoulders, but when I manipulate their bite, they have the range of motion.

I’m in the process of doing myofunctional therapy and expanding my palate in order to release a tongue tie that my PRI therapist thinks is root cause of constant, debilitating low neck pain (also neck and mid neck pain constantly…but the low back keeps me from doing much). Anyway, I’m just focusing on breathing to try and calm my nervous system down until I get tie released and we can really start PRI again. But I’m noticing as I let go of tension slowly in areas of my back and abs, my body will twitch in the exhale and I will not be abide to breath out steadily. Like my body is terrified to fully relax.

      Yes, vision can be involved. The muscles of the eyes greatly influence the cranial bones, because they are very strong. But also, when someone can't perceive visual space appropriately, the body will "posture itself' around what it "sees". If only one eye is working, there will be some postural distortion. I've made some videos about vision and posture.

    Neal! For the begining I will say that i am not good in English.
    So After my researches I understood that no reason on what leg u are staying on, if you on right it doesnt mean that right will be higher.
    You have to understand only one thing that pattern is not correct and if you have tight muscles on front of ribcage from left but main leg is left you have to put your left leg ahead and left should back

      You are saying that humans don't have a bigger right diaphragm and a left hemisphere of the brain that controls the right side of the body? Because that is what the pattern is. It has nothing to do with what leg you stand on. Most people do place more of their weight on the right leg than the left, but that is not the pattern.

    Hi Neal. I got my two molars removed 2 years ago and started having braces. But a year ago I started having all the wired symptoms. But before all the wired symptoms I got a y strap and SI joint adjusted by a chiro(which I didn’t ask for it I didn’t have any issues) anyway. I want to ask if it cause by the braces and molars removed. It normally takes that long(a year) for the body to feel wired(twisted pelvic and sympathetic type CS mainly) ? Or likely it was from the chiro you think? Sorry it’s long.

      I have horrible TMJ problems that began during my Invisilign treatment 7 years ago. Top teeth were mostly straight, but the bottoms were very crooked. Used my dentist who was top rated by invisalign. I started feeling like my jaw & teeth were connecting & sliding funny when I'd chew. Then it turned into horrible clenched jaw & grinding 24/7, even while awake. It kept getting worse during treatment. My dentist kept saying it was fine, stick with the process. My teeth looked better.
      I had zero grinding or TMJ stuff beforehand. I eventually had to go through several specialists. I have joint erosion & am trying to avoid surgery. I wear very expensive heavy-duty splints day & night, not even like regular splints. It's caused major gum erosion from so much force on the tooth roots.
      I know tons of ppl w/ great results, but I've decided that no one should use a dentist for it at all. Not even one that's highly rated by the company.
      Do it with an orthodontist. They're trained to take that stuff way more seriously. They know other things to look at & adjust. Plus I know a few ppl that their orthos were able to suggest more things to the invisalign company to adjust before making the aligners. Their orthos were able to get changes for overall better tooth appearance/visual balance than just having straight teeth.

Then I got sent to TMJ-only specialists & bounced to Drs with more & more experience until I got my current guy. We did a 2 1/2 yr multiple step process wearing jaw orthotics that finally stopped the grinding.
      A year ago, i was able to switch to maintenance splinting. I still have issues of my jaw wanting to clamp shut (can't open to talk, brush teeth, drink anything). Wearing splints will be permanent, but overall I feel much better. My neck & jaw don't hurt anymore.
