This article presents a literature review of publications on current views on the influence of malocclusion and orthodontic treatment on the development of temporomandibular disorders. Purpose of the study: based on scientific research data, to establish the probability of the impact of occlusion disorders and orthodontic treatment on the development of temporomandibular disorders. Materials and methods. The bibliosemantic method was used to clarify the state of the problem, study the analysis of the results of previous scientific research based on literature sources and electronic resources.Information search and analysis of scientific sources were carried out using the scientometric databases Web of Science, PubMed, Google Scholar for the last 10 years. Results: As a result of the search and analysis of literature sources, the authors of the study concluded that patients with temporomandibular disorders are not recommended to start orthodontic treatment until the symptoms disappear completely. If such symptoms have already appeared during orthodontic treatment, it is necessary to suspend it for the duration of the treatment of temporomandibular disorders, or until the patient's condition improves as much as possible. After the symptoms disappear, orthodontic interventions can be continued according to the original plan or, if necessary, adjusted depending on the patient's condition. Timely detection and treatment of temporomandibular disorders will allow for more predictable orthodontic treatment in the future. Conclusions: According to current scientific research data, there is no convincing connection between the development of temporomandibular disorders and occlusion disorders. When planning orthodontic treatment, especially in adult patients, in order to prevent complications and draw up a correct treatment plan, one of the first steps should be to assess the condition of the TMJ and masticatory muscles.
