A study was done to find the role of the SFA and orthodontics-first approach (OFA) on the signs and symptoms of TMD.
From
a recent study, it was illustrated that SFA (Surgery first-approach) is
efficient for making variations in pain disorders and temporomandibular joint clicking after orthognathic
surgery.SFA is found to be effective and short treatment as compared to the
conventional surgical-orthodontic treatments.
A study was done to find
the role of the SFA and orthodontics-first approach (OFA) on the signs and
symptoms of TMD. Then, the comparison was made between the pre and
postoperative treatment durations, between the two approaches.
In this study, 182 adult
patients were considered who had undergone orthodontics-first approach and surgery-first approach for malocclusions
treatment.
Surgical-orthodontic treatment using SFA can be an effective option dentofacial deformities treatment as it is comparatively a short-duration treatment and, it is effective on temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD).
It was found that the SFA
is comparatively better treatment option than the orthodontics-first approach.
