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.
