Abstract:

Temporomandibular disorders(TMD)are a group of symptoms related to the temporomandibular joint, masticatory muscles, dental occlusion, and various structures of the body. It is one of the most difficult problems in the field of dentistry due to its unclear etiology and complex clinical manifestations. TMD is one of the most common symptoms in first-visit orthodontic patients, and orthodontists inevitably face TMD patients during clinical practice. Therefore, orthodontists should be proactive and keep learning to gain a deeper understanding of the classification, diagnosis, and pathogenesis of TMD and study the methods for TMD treatment, in order to play a more important role in the multidisciplinary treatment of TMD.

Key words: temporomandibular disorders, orthodontics, malocclusion
