“…Kilcoyne also stated that dental occlusion problems are a major cause of headache [65]. Similarly, class II division I malocclusion according to Angle’s classification was significantly associated with myopia [38, 66].…”

The likelihood of birth defects in orofacial tissues is high due to the structural and developmental complexity of the face and the susceptibility to intrinsic and extrinsic perturbations. Skeletal malocclusion is caused by the distortion of the proper mandibular and/or maxillary growth during fetal development. Patients with skeletal malocclusion may suffer from dental deformities, bruxism, teeth crowding, trismus, mastication difficulties, breathing obstruction and digestion disturbance if the problem is left untreated. In this review, we focused on skeletal malocclusion that affects 27.9% of the US population with different severity levels. We summarized the prevalence of class I, II and III of malocclusion in different ethnic groups and discussed the most frequent medical disorders associated with skeletal malocclusion. Dental anomalies that lead to malocclusion such as tooth agenesis, crowding, missing teeth and abnormal tooth size are not addressed in this review. We propose a modified version of malocclusion classification for research purposes to exhibit a clear distinction between skeletal vs. dental malocclusion in comparison to Angle’s classification. In addition, we performed a cross-sectional analysis on orthodontic (malocclusion) data through the BigMouth Dental Data Repository to calculate potential association between malocclusion with other medical conditions. In conclusion, this review emphasizes the need to identify genetic and environmental factors that cause or contribute risk to skeletal malocclusion and the possible association with other medical conditions to improve assessment, prognosis and therapeutic approaches.

“…[11] The site of pain is generally located in the temple region and muscles of mastication which may also extend far from its site of origin. [7] In addition to pain, limitation of jaw movement may be a burden for the patient. [12] The etiology of myofascial pain is diverse, but multiple factors such as direct or indirect macro traumatic events, oral para functional habits, postural disturbances and psychosocial stressors have been implicated.…”

“…[19] The relieve of the high contacts to attain an occlusal equilibration helps in relieving the symptoms the TMD's. [7,20] In addition, intra-oral splints either alone or in combination with other approaches are often used to reduce pain and improve function in patients with myofascial pain. [1,15,16,21 ) Among different types of occlusal splints, stabilization splints and nociceptive trigeminal inhibition splint have been reported as safer and more effective than splints with irreversible designs.…”

“…The prevalence in children increases from 39% at age 6 to over 70% by age 15. [7][8] In addition, more than one million days of missed school can be directly attributed to these types of headache pain. [6] In this paper we intend to discuss a case report and the management of TMD's with severe headache and jaw pain as the primary symptom showing no relief with any occlusal splint and post first line of therapy with a longer duration of symptoms since years without any relief thus leading to a very worsen quality of life.…”

Temporomandibular disorder and bruxism may cause individuals to experience extreme pain in the region of jaw and head. The associated musculature and the joint are placed at a strained position which manifests as unbearable pain. This pain may radiate to face, neck and some may even develop migraine, all of which can have painful and a debilitating effect on an individual. This paper describes the case where a patient who was suffering from TMJ pain from 8 years using multiple occlusal splints over the course of years but showed no signs of relief thus, impairing the quality of life. TMD's constitute a group of disease with overlapping similar sign and symptoms. In this case, the patient was diagnosed and treated with the NTI-tSS appliance, with a 6 month follow up showing almost complete resolution of the symptoms enhancing the quality of life.
