It is important to remember the concept that we are healthcare providers and our goal is more than to just straighten teeth. Therefore, it is mandatory to di- agnose our patients fully and when necessary, seek consultation from other specialists, since nowadays a great number of our patients require multidisci- plinary treatments.

This complexity is reflected in the knowledge and importance that each professional gives it. There are a number of specialists for who the TMJ is remote from the teeth and does not interfere with orthodontic treatment.
