The aim of the study is to assess the correlation between orthodontic treatment and temporomandibular joint (TMJ). For that, an evaluation with a virtual articulator (Modjaw) is carried out before and after the treatment. The condylar course are compared. Furthermore, the eventual TMJ symptoms are also compared before and after.
