The most important factor to consider in the treatment of malocclusion is the function and dysfunction of the craniomandibular system (CMS). The role of CMS is to maintain the mandibular position in a physiological position. There is a risk that the mandibular position is easily displaced in a realigned human maxillofacial skull. It is the occlusion that most affects the mandibular position. Therefore, it is always necessary to consider the mandibular position in orthodontic treatment. Especially in the diagnosis and treatment planning of malocclusion, the guideline regarding the direction and specific position with respect to the mandibular position is important. Orthodontic treatment is an effective means to improve the mandibular position by controlling the vertical dimension and occlusal plane, improving the shape of the dental arch, and optimizing occlusal guidance. Orthodontic treatment has become the most effective treatment option for CMS dysfunction.
