  • Title: TMJ function with and without orthodontic treatment.
    Author: Kess K, Bakopulos K, Witt E.
    Journal: Eur J Orthod; 1991 Jun; 13(3):192-6. PubMed ID: 1936136.
    Abstract:
    In order to evaluate the functional status of the stomatognathic system of former orthodontic patients, a review of current literature is given. In addition, a sample of orthodontically-treated subjects and a control group was investigated by means of clinical functional analysis. The figures found in the literature and the results of this study failed to reveal orthodontic treatment as a frequent cause of stomatognathic dysfunction symptoms. Instead, we found the functional status and occlusal parameters of our former orthodontic patients to be more harmonious than in the control group.
