Orthodontic-surgical interventions may alleviate symptoms of temporomandibular disorders in certain patients, but evidence quality is low to moderate.
Of 899 reviewed records, only 10 studies on non-surgical and combined methods met inclusion criteria, indicating a need for further research.
Methods included imaging, clinical examinations, and patient questionnaires, yet few used standardized diagnostic criteria.
Findings highlight variability in treatment outcomes and underscore the importance of standardized diagnostics for future studies.
