Abstract: Clear aligners have transformed orthodontic treatment by providing a more discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional braces.However, their impact on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) remains an area of ongoing study and discussion.The TMJ, which connects the lower jaw (mandible) to the skull, plays a crucial role in essential functions such as chewing, speaking, and yawning.When the TMJ is affected by disorders, known as temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), individuals can experience pain, discomfort, and restricted movement.
