[Effect of the forward head syndrome in the development of temporomandibular disorders].
Rev Cient Odontol (Lima)
December 2023
Article Synopsis
- Poor habits like bad posture, weak abdominal control, and mouth breathing can result in a forward head position, affecting overall health, particularly in the jaw area.
- There’s a significant link between forward head syndrome and temporomandibular disorders (TMD), with muscle issues being the primary concern, especially in the sternocleidomastoid and upper trapezius areas.
- While some wear-and-tear changes in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) have been noted, there is not enough evidence yet to confirm that forward head syndrome directly causes these issues.
