The purpose of this scientific study is to highlight any clinical correlations between malocclusions,
dysfunctions of the temporomandibular joint and postural abnormalities. In literature in recent
years there has been much talk about posturology, often linked to figures such as osteopathy and
physiotherapy. The goal is to bring to light clinical data from other studies and review them so as to
make a point of the situation and have reliable information regarding these correlations. Moreover,
it would be interesting to highlight if they are linked by a cause–effect relationship, and therefore
intervening on the posture, on the back in any stretch, dento-occlusal consequences occur. Back pain
is one of the most common pathologies of our times. This pathology contains multiple pathologies
and multiple causes that can lead to the appearance of back pain symptoms. Back pain can involve
different parts of the spine such as the intervertebral discs (placed between one vertebra and another),
the vertebrae, the facet joints, the muscles or the capsule that surrounds the joints that connect the
vertebrae and also different areas of the column as the cervical, dorsal or lumbar tract. Chiropractors
were the first to deal with this subject as they realized that some of their patients did not benefit from
their therapies and most of them all had an altered dental occlusion; since then many other schools of
postural osteopathy, orthopedics and classical physiatrists have dealt with this fascinating subject on
