Introduction:

Temporomandibular disorders and postural disorders have become common in children and adolescents; therefore, research is increasingly focusing on this topic.

Objective:

To review the literature on the relationship between temporomandibular disorders and posture.

Methods:

In May 2023, a literature review was conducted in PubMed, ScientDirect, EBSCO, and Scopus, with a 5-year time frame. Studies conducted in humans and with open access were included; bibliographic reviews, systematic reviews, and unrelated research were excluded.

Results:

Forty-one thousand one hundred thirty-two (41,132) articles were recovered, and only 10 of them were selected. Four associated temporomandibular disorders and posture; three did not establish any relationship, and the rest were linked to weight distribution, plantar pressure, and gait, respectively.

Conclusions:

Although evidence of an association between temporomandibular disorders and body posture was found, further correlational studies are needed.
