Anatomical landmark measurement, reference planes, and mandibular image processing showing (A) Frontal view of the TMD group; (B) Frontal view of the TMD + Mandibular Asymmetry group with amount of Menton deviation measured; C) Isometric view a: The midsagittal plane is formed by the nasion, sella, and basion point. b; The horizontal plane is formed by the right and left porions and the right orbitale. c; The sella point forms the vertical plane and is perpendicular to the horizontal and midsagittal planes. 2) (D) A re-slice of the condyle in a three-dimensional view; (E) the coronal view; (F) the axial view; (G) the sagittal view. 3) (H) Stabilization Splint (S.S.): Hard acrylic full coverage splint will be fitted to the upper arch and balanced to centric relation occlusion with anterior guidance on anterior teeth in red color; (I) a: before S.S. therapy; b: during S.S.; c: after S.S. A = anterior direction, P = posterior direction, T = top direction, B = bottom direction, R = right direction, L = left direction
