Yes, teeth do touch when swallowing.
According to the reference provided on proper jaw posture, the teeth should not touch ever – except when swallowing. This highlights that tooth contact during swallowing is a normal and necessary part of the process.
In other words:
- Resting Position: When you are not actively chewing or swallowing, your teeth should ideally be slightly apart.
- Swallowing: During the act of swallowing, your teeth should come together briefly.
