Abstract：The temporomandibular joint is the only joint in the oral and maxillofacial region,which has important clinical significance in stomatology.The morphological and structural changes of TMJ affect the prognosis and long-term stability of prosthetics,orthodontics and orthognathic treatment,so whether the morphology and function of TMJ are normal is very important for the treatment of stomatology.The morphological characteristics of the temporomandibular joint are affected by multiple factors such as craniomaxillofacial anatomy,sagittal and vertical bone-faced shapes,dentition occlusion and masticatory muscle function.In recent years,the relationship between temporomandibular joint and orthodontic treatment has attracted wide attention.More and more studies have been conducted to explore the morphological characteristics of temporomandibular joint in patients with different osteofacial malocclusions,but the conclusions reached by different scholars are not completely consistent.Therefore,this paper summarizes the position and morphology of the condyle,articular fossa and disc,in order to provide ideas for clinical diagnosis.
