The source does not claim that missing molars usually cause movement dysfunction. Occlusion research is treated as suggestive evidence that dental contact changes can influence muscle activity elsewhere. The drill instructs the practitioner to make contact with the left teeth during the left-side reach. After left teeth contact is established, it should be maintained while turning and side bending the head. Molars provide sensory information about jaw position as well as chewing function. Missing tooth contact can alter the jaw position a person naturally chooses. Left-side teeth contact is maintained when the eyes move left. The drill instructs the teeth to contact on the left side. The source recommends addressing movement fundamentals before pursuing dental intervention for movement reasons. Left-side teeth contact is established while weight is on the left heel and the left arm reaches forward. Missing teeth should not automatically be treated as an explanation for poor movement or reduced strength. The transition toward the right leg should avoid occluding anywhere.
