Prognosis
TMDs are self-limiting disorders and can affect quality of life.[12] The signs and symptoms decrease with age.[12] Over time, clicking in the temporomandibular joint decreases.[92] Most patients will probably improve with or without treatment. Treatment of TMDs is not curative, but palliative; 80% of patients will be successfully managed with palliative treatment.[11]
