📋Overview
Orofacial dyskinesia refers to involuntary, repetitive movements of the face, mouth, and jaw. It is a descriptive term rather than a distinct diagnosis and is often seen as a symptom of underlying neurological or medication-related conditions. Modern terminology typically classifies these movements under tardive dyskinesia or other movement disorders depending on the cause.
