“…In cases of systemic arthritis, Michigan splints are used as co-adjuvants with typical medication to relieve arthralgia, to reduce overload and associated joint degeneration, and they are also used in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis 78. The splints are also useful as adjuvants to control muscle pain associated with arthritis, as well as to provide occlusal stability, decreasing the load on dentoperiodontal structures when secondary malocclusions appear.…”

“…Anterior replacement devices, such as anterior positioning appliance, are usually placed in the upper arch for simplicity and comfort. It presents a barrier that forces closure in an advanced position of the jaw such that a correct condyle:disc ratio68,78 is obtained for those joints in which the disc was previously displaced. Periodic revisions are fundamental to control for the possible appearance of later open bites.…”

Patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) can become very complex. This article aims to highlight the importance of the multimodal and multidisciplinary approach in this type of patients to improve clinical outcomes. At present we have innumerable techniques and tools to approach this type of patients from a biopsychosocial model where active and adaptive type treatments are fundamental. There are various health professions that have competence in the treatment of TMD, however, although in the most complex cases should be treated simultaneously, still too many patients receive unique treatments and only from one point of view. This review exposes the treatments available from a clinical-scientific perspective and also emphasizes the importance of working in specialized units with those professionals who have competencies on the different conditions that may occur.

Background: An anterior open bite is considered challenging to treat because of its multifactorial etiology. Condylar resorption, which is one of the temporomandibular disorders (TMD) symptoms, has been identified as an etiologic factor of anterior open bites. It is essential to find an effective and efficient method to correct open bites while reducing the risk of exacerbating TMD during orthodontic treatment.Objectives: To evaluate the effect of the multi-loop edgewise archwire (MEAW) technique in correcting anterior open bite in patients with TMD. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, 20 patients with anterior open bites and TMD were included. 19 cephalometric measurements and 2 open bite indices were evaluated. A paired t-test was used to assess changes between pre- and post-treatments. Results: There were statistically significant changes after the treatment using the MEAW technique. The cephalometric measurements, including vertical positions of the incisors and molars, changed significantly. The maxillary and mandibular regional superimpositions for a subgroup of non-extraction patients showed slight intrusion of the upper molars (-0.6±1.0mm, p=0.04) and slight extrusion of the lower molars (1.0±1.1mm, p<0.01). Open bite correction was achieved predominantly through retraction and extrusion of the upper and lower incisors. Conclusions: The anterior open bite was successfully corrected by using the MEAW technique. However, the primary mechanism was the extrusion of the anterior teeth with a maintained vertical dimension. In the absence of apparent symptoms of joint discomfort, it is effective and relatively safe to use the MEAW technique to treat open bite patients with TMD.

Open bite correction was achieved predominantly through retraction and extrusion of the upper and lower incisors. Conclusions: The MEAW technique can be an effective method in correcting anterior open bites in Class II patients with TMD. Anterior open bites were corrected mainly by extrusion and retraction of the anterior teeth. The vertical dimension was maintained for the upper molars, but the mandibular molars were extruded. During treatment, the patients who had TMD did not show evident recurrence or worsening of their TMD conditions, indicating that orthodontic treatment can be performed when required.
