Abstract
The aim of this review was to evaluate associations between different orthodontic treatment techniques, the role of malocclusion types, and signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). Associations between different orthodontic treatment techniques and TMD were found in some studies, whereas most of the reviewed articles failed to identify significant associations. Based on the presently available research, because it has not been demonstrated that malocclusions cause TMDs, it is incorrect to claim that orthodontic approaches can treat or prevent TMDs. Moreover, there is no evidence that any orthodontic treatment causes TMD signs or symptoms. Longitudinal studies are still needed. (Turkish J Orthod 2015;28:71–76)Keywords
