Tonic mandibular deviation accompanying ipsilateral downward and lateral lip pulling is the most common phenotype seen in patients with facial functional movement disorders. However, functional movement disorders in the stomatognathic system are underrecognized. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate clinical characteristics and phenomenology in patients with functional movement disorders in the stomatognathic system. Methods: Ten-item inclusion criteria (point range: 0-10) for functional movement disorders in the stomatognathic system was produced, based on previously established criteria for functional movement disorders and general signs of
