Abstract

Dysfunction of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) represent a condition affecting the
temporomandibular joints and surrounding muscles and ligaments. Occlusal splints represent the first line
in the strategy of orthodontic treatment of these patients. The aim of our case report is to show the effectiveness of directive, non-permissive splint use as an intermediate treatment, before starting fixed orthodontic therapy in TMD patients. A careful and comprehensive approach with a combination of treatment procedures is needed for successfully reducing the symptoms of TMJ dysfunction before applying fixed orthodontic therapy in order to bring the teeth in ideal position according to all gnathological
principles.
