Myth: Pretreatment radiographs of both TMJs should be taken to determine the _____ of the condyles in the fosse, and the orthodontic treatment should be directed toward getting the condyles in concentric relation to their _____
position…fossa
Myth: Orthodontic treatment when properly done, usually______ the likelihood of subsequently developing TMD
reduces..

reduce
Myth: The use of certain _______ procedures (bicuspid extraction, incisor retraction, etc.) or appliances (headgear, chin cups, Class II elastics, etc.) may increase the likelihood of developing TMD
-Comment in 2006. These devices can ______a pre-existing TMJ condition.

Myth: Adult patients who have _______ TMD symptoms and some form of occlusal “problem” require some type of occlusal correction in order to get well and stay well
concurrent…
Myth: The retrusion of the mandible because of ______causes (deep overbite, distalizing occlusal contacts) or iatrogenic procedures (chin cups, incisor retraction, retention during growth spurts) is a ____factor in the development of TMD
natural…major
Myth: ______of the mandible causes articular disks to skip forward off the condyles, resulting in internal derangements, especially clicking.
-Comment in 2006. Research shows that posterior condyle position _____ for anterior disc displacement with reduction but NOT for pain or arthritic changes.
Distalization …predisposes
