Hello. I am trying to fix my neck posture, but when i am doing it, my lower teeth are equally under upper jaw, or even when i chin tuck, my lower teeth can be like 1mm or less more forward than upper. How should i hold my jaw and teeth while maintaining good posture? When my jaw is relaxed with slight chin tuck, my front teeth are touching equally eachother.

Everyone says that molars should touch slighty eachother, but in my case they can only touch when i have forward head posture, otherwise if i maintain good neck posture, i would have to force them a little to stay together, which strain my masseter muscles.

I have my whole tongue on the roof when i chin tuck, but i have no idea how to keep my jaw and teeth in rest position.

PS: Sorry for eng, i was trying to explain it as simply as i can.

  • Not everyone agrees on tooth touching. That said it's hard to tell without pics. Your molars may naturally touch in an underbite position for all we know. Mine do, and it is impossible to get them to not do so.

    With straight neck im having now slightly apart or lightly touching incisors. Also i am aware of my jaw to not full hanging down, and it seems i fixed my jaw tension instantly. Ofc im not forcing to touch molars as before. Looks like when i was improving my posture for better, my masseter tension was increasing cuz i was forcing to push my jaw back to have molars in contact.

    Good thing is, i started to look better literally after 2h from this fix
