Abstract
The findings on an adult patient with mandibular asymmetry and temporomandibular dysfunction are presented. The patient had four first premolars extracted earlier, followed by a short treatment attempt. Control of tongue function and jaw posture before, during, and after active treatment helped achieve a functional occlusion and a relief of the symptoms of the temporomandibular dysfunction. Specific diagnostic (assessment of occlusion and jaw movements) as well as therapeutic means (lower removable appliance and crown reshaping) are described.
