Try to carry a hen or chicken as you might know it to be, then try to move its body left and right while carrying it properly balanced on your hands. You will realize that while you move its body left and right, its head and eyes are properly balanced effortlessly, what our body tries to do thanks to the vestibular system.
The vestibular system is responsible for keeping track of orientation and space, and it is important in balancing. It is what is responsible for the locking of our eyes on something even when our body moves. Your ability to look at a beautiful lady like me constantly even when you are moving is thanks to your vestibular system.
It is not only your eyes that enjoys this balance, every part of your body does including when you want to lift weight in the gym, helping your muscles engage in a balanced way. As funny as it might sound, do you know that the position of your teeth can affect your posture and balance? The paper continued that the alignment of your bite can affect your posture as the position of your molar in a bite can affect this. If one side is higher than the other, it will tilt the head to one side, and they further wemt on to say that it could lead to scoliosis wjere the spine is bent from its normal position.
It might sound ridiculous but there are studies that show that your teeth alignment has a lot to do with your posture and balance, so for you people that find it hard to visit the dentist even when you do not have good set of teeth, I hope you do not start having disfugured postures soon.

If you cannot feel your teeth touching on one side, then your body weight shifts to the other.
