Presence of insomnia and TMD of the included patients was determined according to the diagnostic criteria, and statistical analyses were conducted as appropriate to compare ISI-related scores between TMD and non-TMD participants. Further, multivariable regressions were performed to detect the potential correlation between insomnia and TMD in orthodontic patients.Results: Orthodontic patients with TMD scored significantly higher in both the individual items and the total sum of ISI than those without TMD. More patients were bothered by insomnia in the TMD group than the non-TMD counterparts (26.6% vs 16.7%, p=0.003). After adjusting for confounding variables, insomnia was found to be significantly correlated with TMD in orthodontic patients (OR=1.677, 95% CI 1.128, 2.511). Subgroup analysis of TMD subtypes showed a significant positive association of insomnia with pain-related TMD (OR=2.007, 95% CI 1.331, 3.015).Conclusion: Insomnia was associated with a higher prevalence of pain-related TMD rather than intra-articular TMD in orthodontic patients.Keywords: temporomandibular disorders, pain, insomnia, orthodontic treatment
