Abstract: Removable appliances with posterior bite plates are largely advised to be worn for duration of 6-12 weeks. If worn beyond this duration it may lead to undesirable changes in the patients biting pattern and Tempromandibular disorders (TMD). This article aims at shedding light on the conservative management of a case of TMD due to prolonged wear of a removable orthodontic appliance, which was used for crossbite correction in a patient with a Cleft lip cleft palate (CLCP). The conservative management of TMD is recommended when in children with TMD to reduce the problems posted by surgical method of management.
