Conversely, bodily movements and postures can affect our consciousness, influencing how we believe—either improving or worsening our state. This bidirectional interaction between cognition and the body means that each can influence the other. Understanding this reciprocal relationship can be beneficial in the treatment of temporomandibular disorder (TMD). This article aims to raise awareness of the interplay among cognition, emotion, and the body and to provide orthodontists and patients with TMD with a novel perspective on the treatment of TMD. © 2024 American Association of Orthodontistsen10.1016/j.xaor.2024.12.002info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessawarenessbody positioncognitioncognitive behavioral therapydecision makingembodied cognitionemotionface musclefull mouth rehabilitationhumanjaw diseasejaw musclemental functionNoteorthodontic procedureorthodontistoverbitepatient participationperceptionplacebo effectreasoningtemporomandibular jointtherapy effecttreatment outcomeworking memoryNote51512-s2.0-85217963674N/A
