Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess temporomandibular joint (TMJ) symptoms and night muscle activity in an objective manner, in addition to daytime bruxism and clenching, as reported by the patient, following the start of orthodontic treatment with Invisalign®. A baseline evaluation of all measures will be used as control data, while different time points will be used to evaluate the evolution of patients' symptoms over the course of six months (the duration of the study).
