With the continuous improvement of living standards, people pay more and more attention to facial appearance and oral health. Dentists found that patients with malocclusion had temporomandibular disorders (TMJ), in which disc displacement was the most common. Because it affects the growth and reconstruction of condyle, which affects joint function, facial appearance, growth and development, etc. This article summarizes the etiology, imaging examination, manifestations and related treatment of articular disc displacement, in order to provide clinical guidance for the treatment of Anterior Disc Displacement patients, improve clinicians' understanding of the disease, and reduce the occurrence of Anterior Disc Displacement or relieve the symptoms of Anterior Disc Displacement.
