the panoramic view but in the plain lms. In pre­vious examples of Figs. 6 and 7, the structural deformities already appeared in the panoramic view. This is not describing cephalometric analy­sis but rather pointing out the lack of parallelism of the frontal planes in the frontal radiograph.
The head is balanced over the cervical spine and is in equilibrium with the bi-pupillary and occlusal planes. An important third plane is the transverse mandibular, which must be parallel to the nasal, auricle, and pupillary planes.
When the head loses its optimal gravitational relationship with respect to the surface of the earth, the patient’s balance is disturbed, which can cause vertigo, nausea, and frequent myalgias in postural muscles. The neuromuscular system is in a state of constant activity in order to keep those planes in an optimal physiological relation­ship with each other both while sitting and standing.
A healthy cervical spine should not be straight as seen in Fig. 12b, but concaved posteriorly, described as cervical lordosis. A change in head posture can be devastating to the neuromuscular system. Notice an important loss of space between the fth and sixth cervical vertebrae and also osteophytes in the same vertebrae.
Symptomatically, the cervical region overlaps with the craniofacial region. The superior cervi­cal nerves, discs, facets, and muscles are a poten­tial source of referred pain, and the second and third cervical nerves innervate the angle of the mandible, lower region of the TMJ, and parts of the ear, mastoid, and nape of the neck. Any irrita­tion or dysfunction of these nerves can be associ­ated with cervicofacial pain.
In this patient, there was an anterior dis­placement of the joint disc in closed mouth with recapture in open mouth in both temporo­mandibular joints. MRI of the cervical spine showed the reduction of the intervertebral discs between C6 and C7 where a disc-osteophytic complex is observed, normally associated with a bulging (protrusion) of the intervertebral disc in the cervical spine. With the loss of interver­tebral space and the retro-positioned condyles on the plain lms together with the clinical data, it is strongly suspected that an anterior displacement of the articular disc as well as protrusions in the cervical spine, both con­rmed by MRI (Fig. 13), are related. This is why it is fundamental to look at all our patient’s data as a puzzle to be solved. It seems logical to look at the patient as a whole.

stomatognathic system, were unable to contract during clenching (Fig.15). Masseter muscles are unable to contract, and the patient had an ideal occlusion. The initial reaction was to think that there was a malfunction with the electromyo­graph or that there was some error in the place­ment of the electrodes. Plain lms and a TMJ MRI were requested.
Laminography in habitual occlusion, the retro-position of the mandibular heads, especially on the left side (Fig.16) (red arrow), was clearly
visible. This retro-position provokes a signicant retrodiscal compression. A modication of the growth axis (greenstick fracture) bilaterally caused by a trauma in infancy is also visible. The MRI shows an anterior disc displacement in the right and left TMJs with reduction (Fig. 17) (open-mouth MRI not included). The patient’s masticatory muscles were electronically depro­grammed to check the differences between the neuromuscular and dental trajectories. The clos­ing path is that which is taken during the dis-

placement of the mandible when it passes from its position of rest (MRP) to the position of usual occlusion. This trajectory is the result of the vari­ous muscular contraction vectors. These vectors determine a line of mandibular displacement, which brings the mandible into contact with its antagonist (maxilla).
The neuromuscular trajectory (Fig. 18) measured after deprogramming with transcuta­neous electrical neural stimulation (TENS) does not match the usual trajectory, having a discrepancy in the sagittal, frontal, and vertical
directions. The patient’s habitual dental path is posterior to the neuromuscular pathway. The graphic makes perfect sense coinciding with the images and the clinical tests. The patient presented a pathological freeway space of
6.2 mm and a retromandibular position of
2.5mm. The ultimate goal in orthodontic and facial orthopedic treatments is to treat all three components of the stomatognathic system and create an environment for the synergistic func­tion of the teeth, temporomandibular joints, and neuromuscular system.

5 Summary

A static image of beautiful occlusion does not speak of muscular harmony, does not show if there is coordination between the systems, and does not show if the patient has either local or remote pain. Occlusion needs a denition where all systems are represented. The stomatognathic system is linked primarily with the trigeminal nerve and the cervical spine and consequently with the whole body. If one does not understand that teeth are the ending point of this joint, that the temporomandibular joint can be affected by systemic and local pathologies, and that muscles move the mandible, treatment failure may not be understood, especially in cases where TMJ pathologies are present.
Understanding the complex interrelationship of craniomandibular disorders requires a broad understanding, not only of the anatomy and phys-
iology of the head and neck, but also of the spine. Nociceptive reexes originating from the tem­poromandibular joint lead to adaptive postural responses (craniomandibular, head and neck, trunk, and limbs). These will be addressed in the following chapter: Structural Misalignment:
Postural Changes Related to Temporomandibular Joint Pathology.
