简要总结
Dentists and physiotherapists have two options for treating these conditions: splint therapy and physiotherapy. Right now, the gold standard is individual physiotherapy, which contains manual therapy and active exercises too. Since not many dentists and physiotherapists are experts in this area, patients have to wait for months or even years to get their treatment. Thanks to social media, patients can find many information about their condition while they are waiting, but it's our responsibility to provide safe and effective information. In view of this situation, our aim is to find out if online or group physiotherapy is as effective as individual physiotherapy.

研究组 & 干预措施
Online physiotherapy
These group of patients will get a well-detailed video about the exercises for treatment of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). This video will be available during the whole 4-week treatment period.
干预措施: Individual physiotherapy (Procedure)

干预措施: Group physiotherapy (Procedure)
Group physiotherapy
This study group will have a 30-minute face-to-face physiotherapy appointment in small groups (5 person in one group). The physiotherapist will teach them how to perform the exercises correctly. At the end of the appointment, they will get a description about the exercises for the treatment of TMDs. They will practice the exercises at home for 4 weeks.
