The association between malocclusion and the prevalence of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) was studied in an orthodontic patient population before orthodontic treatment was started. A total of 305 patients, 232 with general malocclusion and 73 who also had cleft lip or palate, were given a questionnaire about the subjective symptoms of TMD. Clinical examinations for type of malocclusion and TMD signs were also conducted. No significant differences in the prevalence of TMD were observed between the sexes or between the two patient groups. Temporomandibular joint sounds and difficulty of jaw movement were the most common of the TMD signs and symptoms. Open bite, posterior crossbite, and deep bite were the most prevalent types of malocclusion in both groups. Thus, some specific types of malocclusion were significantly associated with the occurrence of TMD.
在正畸治疗开始前，对正畸患者群体中错颌畸形与颞下颌关节紊乱病（TMD）患病率之间的关联进行了研究。总共305名患者，其中232名患有一般错颌畸形，73名还患有唇腭裂，他们填写了一份关于TMD主观症状的问卷。还对错颌畸形类型和TMD体征进行了临床检查。在性别之间或两组患者之间，未观察到TMD患病率的显著差异。颞下颌关节弹响和下颌运动困难是最常见的TMD体征和症状。开颌、后牙反颌和深覆颌是两组中最常见的错颌畸形类型。因此，某些特定类型的错颌畸形与TMD的发生显著相关。
