Abstract

In this review, the author wants to highlight the possible musculopostural consequences in people who have atypical swallowing. Altered swallowing is often related to dental malocclusion, specifically to open bite. This combination of atypical swallowing with open bite leads to hypotonia of the masticatory muscles, which is confirmed by various authors by EMG examination. This muscular hypotonia has consequences both at the level of the temporomandibular joint and at the postural level. It is common that the individual suffers from specific symptoms that must make the practitioner reflect on the possible cause at the level of the swallowing mechanism.

Keywords:Atypical Swallowing; Posture; Postural Dysfunction; Open Bite
