Jaw misalignment linked to posture? 3D spine scans investigate
NCT ID NCT07664059
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether the way your jaw and teeth fit together (called malocclusion) is related to your body posture. Researchers will use a 3D scanner to measure the spine's curves and alignment in people with different types of jaw misalignment. The goal is to better understand how the mouth and body may be connected, which could help dentists and other doctors work together more effectively.
