Transforming TMD care through education, collaboration, and advocacy

Home header
Our Mission
Our mission is to redefine advocacy for Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) by focusing on holistic education, interdisciplinary collaboration, and systemic change. We aim to bridge the gap between patient advocacy and the healthcare system, emphasizing practical, actionable strategies to improve TMD care and understanding.

Resources for Patients

  • Education We focus on accessible, actionable education, empowering them to advocate for themselves and make informed decisions.
  • Best practices We are deeply committed to identifying and disseminating evidence-based, non-harmful treatment strategies, advocating for care protocols that emphasize safety, patient well-being, and long-term outcomes.
  • Innovative tools We provide cutting-edge educational platforms and decision-support tools for patients and providers, making it easier to navigate the complexities of TMD treatment.
  • New standards We aim to transform the culture of TMD care by ensuring patients, providers, and researchers are aligned in pursuing solutions that prioritize patient safety and well-being.
