    Author: Shroff B.
    Journal: Oral Maxillofac Surg Clin North Am; 2018 Aug; 30(3):299-302. PubMed ID: 29866453.
    Abstract:
    This article explores the long-standing controversy between orthodontics and temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). It reviews the history of this controversy and presents a discussion of the current literature concerning the potential role of malocclusion in the onset of TMDs. It also explores the potential role of orthodontic treatment as a possible cure for TMDs and concludes, based on the most current evidence-based literature, that there is no relationship.
