Abstract

Introduction: possible temporomandibular disorders that may occur after an orthodontic procedure are more common than has been investigated.

Objective: To determine the correlation between orthodontics and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunctions in patients aged 14-22 years.

Methods: An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the correlation between orthodontics and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunctions in patients between 14 and 22 years of age, Santo Domingo, Ecuador, in the period 2020 - 2022. The universe consisted of 63 patients, the sample obtained by simple random sampling and the inclusion-exclusion criteria consisted of 42 patients.

Results: 63,28 % of the study population was female and 36,62 % was male. Fifty-four percent of the patients surveyed had little pain, 32 % reflected in the surveys that their pain was mild and only 9 % had severe pain. Thirty-six per cent of the patients reported that they never felt their jaw "locked" and 37 % rarely.

Conclusions: orthodontics is not the definitive treatment for temporomandibular disorders; there is a relationship between them and orthodontics, yes, but it is a treatment for very specific cases, where temporomandibular disorders are caused by malocclusion. For disorders of other origin, another type of treatment or a mixture of several of these is necessary.
