Twenty-five patients presenting with a chief complaint of pain around the temporomandibular joints, along with symptoms of internal derangements, i.e., clicking or crepitus, and concomitant vertigo were treated successfully with jaw repositioning orthotics. All had been examined by physicians for otalgic disorders and were considered negative. Vertigo was remitted with orthotic therapy in all cases and returned with the removal of the appliance. Anatomic and physiologic hypotheses are presented as potential etiologies.
25名以颞下颌关节周围疼痛为主诉，并伴有颞下颌关节内紊乱症状（即弹响或摩擦音）及眩晕的患者，通过颌骨重新定位矫治器治疗成功。所有患者均已由医生检查耳部疾病，结果均为阴性。在所有病例中，眩晕通过矫治器治疗得到缓解，去除矫治器后眩晕又复发。本文提出了一些解剖学和生理学假设作为可能的病因。
