“…An interesting relationship was noticed by Saddu, who during the research divided patients into two groups: with disorders of muscle origin and of joint origin. In the case of muscular dysfunction, the cervical lordosis worsens and there is no relationship between the head position and the temporomandibular joint [39]. An important issue to be discussed in the case of TMD is the "whip lash" disorder.…”

INTRODUCTION The temporomandibular joint is a synovial, complex (hinge-sliding) joint that connects the temporal bone with the mandible by means of an articular disc. Temporomandibular joint dysfunctions most often concern several disease entities and include various symptoms and ailments. One of the first symptoms of the disease is pain that stems from a muscle or joint. In addition, we can observe: limitations in the mobility and range of movement of the jaw, problems with chewing food, crackles in the joint, pain in pressure and touch of the muscles, earaches and noise or changes in the appearance of the face (the so-called "square face"). Any deviation from the correct body posture is called a posture defect. OBJECTIVE The main aim of the study is to present the significant relationship between disturbed statics of the body and the temporomandibular joint, thanks to which we can explain the importance of proper planning of diagnostics as well as conducting dental and physiotherapeutic therapy. THE WEIGHT OF THE BODCIES The materials used to write the article include scientific works from 1992-2021. The data was collected using the PubMed search engine and manual filtering. 80 publications were qualified for the analysis. SUMMARY According to the analyzed literature, we believe that there is a relationship between disturbances in the body statics and the stomatognathic system. The complexity of the issue shows that it is important to conduct multi-directional and interdisciplinary therapy.

“…Ninety-eight articles were excluded because they did not use DC/TMD or RDC/TMD criteria for TMD diagnosisor they did not assess head nor neck posture. A total of nine studies were included in the systematic review [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Six studies assessed the head and neck posture by using a radiographic analysis [13, 16-18, 20, 21] and four studies by using a photogrammetric analysis [14,15,18,19].…”

Purpose: To systematically review the association of head and neck posture features with TMD. A systematic searchfor observational studies evaluating head and neck postural control features in patients with TMD diagnosis according to DC/TMD or RDC/ TMD criteria was conducted. Methods: Data were extracted by two reviewers according to the STARLITE guidelines. The methodological quality was assessed with a specific 8-items questionnaire. Results: Nine studies were included with a methodological quality ranging from 4 to 7 (mean: 5.3; SD: 1.0), four using photogrammetry and six using radiography assessments. Craniocervical angle, distance between vertebral segments, hyoid bone position, high cervical angle, low cervical angle,the anterior translation angle, lordosis angle, and craniocervical mobility index were assessed. Craniocervical angle, hyoid position, and C0-C1-C2 distance are not associated with TMD. More high-quality with proper TMD diagnostic criteria, sample size and valid/reliable procedures are needed to confirm the association between TMD with disc displacement, ANB angle, and cervical lordosis.

“…Taking this into account, it seems possible that the mechanical effects from orthodontics may lead to muscular and articular adaptations on the cervical spine. Furthermore, considering that a craniocervical dysfunction may act as a contributing factor to TMDs [ 15 , 25 , 26 , 28 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 ], it is reasonable to assume that the clinician should evaluate any change in the craniocervical region during orthodontic treatment, as well as any change in the TMDs complaints.…”

Orthodontic treatment acts through the application of forces and/or by stimulating and redirecting the functional forces within the craniofacial complex. Considering the interrelationship between craniomandibular and craniocervical systems, this intervention may alter craniocervical posture. Thus, our aim is to (a) compare craniocervical posture, hyoid bone position, and craniofacial morphology before, after, and also in the contention phase at least one year after the orthodontic treatment, in patients with temporomandibular disorders and (b) to verify whether the presence of condylar displacement, the skeletal class, or the facial biotype interferes with the abovementioned outcomes. To do so an observational, analytical, longitudinal, and retrospective design study was carried out. A non-probabilistic convenience sampling method was applied. The sample consisted of clinical records of patients diagnosed with temporomandibular disorders in order to compare pre-orthodontic treatment with post-orthodontic treatment (n = 42) and contention phase data (n = 26). A cephalometric analysis of several variables was performed. The p-value was set as 0.05. When the pre- and post-orthodontic treatment data were analyzed, there were statistically significant changes in variables concerning craniocervical posture (CV angle, C0-C1, and AA-PNS) and also concerning hyoid bone position (C3-Rgn). When pre- and post-orthodontic treatment and contention phase data were analyzed the variables concerning craniocervical posture (C0-C1, CVT/Ver, NSL/OPT, NSL/CVT, NSL/Ver; OPT/CVT, OPT/Ver) and facial biotype had statistically significant changes. This allowed us to conclude that in the sample studied, there were significant differences regarding hyoid bone position (pre- versus post-orthodontic treatment) and craniocervical posture (pre- versus post-orthodontic versus contention), with the craniocervical posture being prone to return to basal values. The presence of condylar displacement was found to significantly increase the H-H1 distance in the three moments of evaluation. Facial biotype was found to significantly increase the NSL/Ver angle on hypodivergent compared to hyperdivergent in the contention phase.
