Abstract:

 TMJ disorder is considered a gray area of dentistry. Treatment of these types ofproblems with TMJ splints is often a temporary solution. Achieving a permanentcorrection is usually difficult, because it requires changing the position of mandibularcondyles inside a TM joint. In many cases this goal is unattainable using only onetreatment modality. The unique treatment philosophy described in this article requiresa multidisciplinary approach. It starts with orthodontic treatment which enhances therelationship inside the TM joint, alleviates TMJ symptoms and sets the stage for furtherfull mouth rehabilitation, if necessary. Orthodontic treatment in these cases is performedwith special attention to dentofacial orthopedics. The end result of this treatmentcreates improved position of condyles inside TMJ, proper three dimensional orthopedicrelationships between the patient’s jaws and correct occlusion. This produces greatlyimproved facial proportions, enhanced facial appearance and youthful look of thepatient while laying the groundwork for more successful restorative procedures.
