Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
To assess peripheral muscle oxygenation in the masseter muscles. To verify this result, near infrared spectroscopy will be used. It is expected to find improvement in oxygenation after the intervention performed, through the peripheral saturation index. The higher this index, the better the oxygenation.;Verify the intensity of pain in the temporomandibular region in adolescents with TMD. It is expected to find a decrease in pain after the intervention performed. And to verify this outcome, the numerical pain scale (0-10), the graduated chronic pain scale (0-10) and the algometer will be used. The higher the score on these scales, the greater the degree of pain.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
To verify the presence of kinesiophobia in adolescents with TMD, through the Tampa Scale instrument (TSK/TMD). It is expected to find a decrease in kinesiophobia after the intervention performed, kscore that can range from 18-72. The higher the score on this scale, the greater the degree of kinesiophobia. ;Check the presence of anxiety in adolescents with TMD using the GAD-7 scale. Adolescents with TMD are expected to present higher degree of anxiety.The higher the score on this scale, the greater the degree of anxiety, which can range from 0-21, with 10 being the general cutoff point for identifying generalized anxiety disorder.
