Since 1907, the international community has used Angle's classification to assess the mesio-distal relationships of the dental arches. It is the basis of the diagnosis of malocclusion in the sagittal dimension and indicates or not an orthodontic correction treatment. This work was aimed to inventory the classification methods of malocclusions used today.

Article Synopsis
- The ATM (temporomandibular joint) has traditionally been linked to the growth of the mandibular condyle, with research showing how orthopedic devices can stimulate this growth, especially in treating Class II dysmorphosis.
- Current practices emphasize the importance of mechanical stimulation and function during growth, starting at an early age, and suggest behavioral counseling for parents to promote healthy chewing habits.
- Increasing awareness about temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) and its effects on orthodontic treatments is leading to improved preventive strategies and individualized care, particularly for at-risk patients.
These interventions usually aimed at the correction of the skeletal discrepancy by mandibular retrognatism with an advancement of the distal portion of the mandible after mandibular osteotomy. The position of the condyle is determined during the osteosynthesis with miniplates. Condyles are set back in relation with the supine position of the patient and the weakness of his (her) curarized muscle.
