Orthodontic treatment impacts occlusion morphology and function, influencing temporomandibular disorders. This review explores the relationship between orthodontic interventions, occlusal appliance therapy, and jaw joint health.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Orthodontics
  • Temporomandibular Joint Disorders

Background:

  • Orthodontic treatment aims to achieve ideal occlusion, but its role in temporomandibular disorders (TMD) is debated.
  • Historically, orthodontic interventions have been implicated as both causative and therapeutic factors in TMD.
  • Understanding the morphologic and functional demands of treated occlusion is crucial.

Observation:

  • This article critically reviews existing literature on the connection between orthodontic treatment and TMD.
  • It examines the specific implications of occlusal appliance therapy within orthodontic contexts.
  • Case reports are analyzed to illustrate clinical observations.

Findings:

  • The literature presents conflicting views on whether orthodontic treatment causes or resolves TMD.

  • Occlusal appliance therapy in orthodontics requires careful consideration of its effects on jaw mechanics.
  • Evidence suggests a complex interplay between occlusion, orthodontic treatment, and TMD symptoms.

    • Implications:

    • Clinicians must consider the potential impact of orthodontic treatment on temporomandibular joint (TMJ) health.
    • Further research is needed to clarify the etiological role of orthodontics in TMD.
    • Optimizing occlusal outcomes in orthodontics may contribute to preventing or managing TMD.
