Muscle type temporomandibular disorders and orthodontics

Abstract

With painful temporomandibular disorders, the physiotherapist treatment makes it possible to treat the pains and dysfunctions of the masticatory apparatus. When these are diagnosed before orthodontic treatment, it is necessary to treat them so that they do not interfere with the dentofacial orthopaedics treatment. In this perspective, lingual rehabilitation according to the method «Fournier» is associated with Schultz Autogenic Training.
