Relation of painful TMD with the speech function: What are the possible characteristics of mandibular movements and the main symptoms reported?

The lateral deviations are the main alteration of the mandibular movement during the speech performance in painful TMD. Such deviations are more expected in joint TMD (disc displacement and degenerative diseases). The perception of pain and joint noise are the main complaints related to the orofacial speech function in individuals with painful TMD.
