The Massachusetts Academy of General Dentistry is a professional association representing general dentists within our state. We are dedicated to providing resources for continuing dental education to our members and to improving patient care through lifelong service and learning. That dedication is supported by the programs and events that assist AGD members to achieve their professional goals, with our main focus in advocacy.
There is a long history of controversy and a lack of understanding regarding the relationship between occlusion and temporomandibular disorder (TMD) symptoms. A new case report in General Dentistry presents the use of clear aligners as a probable cofactor of TMD in an adult patient. Although there is no direct cause-effect relationship, possible interactions between existing cofactors should not be ignored.
