Imbalances in the masticatory musculature may affect the postural muscles of the head, neck and back. Conversely, head position can affect the activity in the masticatory muscles secondarily affecting vertical and horizontal positioning of the mandible. Due to these occlusal-craniocervical interrelationships, the need for a clinical three dimensional functional assessment of the occlusion and its effect on the body is essential for successful co-management of head, neck and face pain.
