Structure of a single trial of the dental model illusion (DMI) paradigm. Each trial comprises four phases: pre‐test perceived position estimation of teeth, tactile stimulation, post‐test perceived position estimation of teeth and questionnaire. In the tactile stimulation, there are two stroking conditions: synchronous and asynchronous. During the synchronous condition, the experimenter guides the participant's right index finger to slide over the facial surface of the maxillary central and lateral incisors of a dental model placed 8 cm beneath the chinrest. Simultaneously, the experimenter touches with their index finger the facial surface of the participant's central and lateral maxillary incisors. The direction of the two touches is identical. During the asynchronous condition, there is a 1‐s delay in between the two touches, and the direction of the two touches is therefore different.
