Correction of distal occlusion and TMJ dysfunction using a repositioning splint

The patient visited the clinic for orthodontic treatment. However, diagnostics revealed that her lower jaw was in a distal (retruded) position, which caused significant pain in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) when opening her mouth.

To address this issue, a comprehensive diagnostic assessment was performed, and a repositioning splint was placed. This appliance helps move the lower jaw into a physiologically correct position. This stage served as a diagnostic and preparatory phase before starting orthodontic treatment.

After stabilizing the lower jaw position, positive changes in the patient’s profile were observed, confirming the effectiveness of the chosen treatment approach.
