Why Should Healthcare Professionals Learn About TMD?
Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMD) doesn’t just affect the jaw—it influences oral posture, muscle balance, airway health, and overall orofacial function.
For those incorporating Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) into their practice, understanding TMD is essential for providing a more comprehensive and collaborative approach to patient care.
✅ Recognize the Impact on Orofacial Function: TMD can contribute to muscle tension, altered oral posture, and compensatory movement patterns that affect orofacial balance.
✅ Support Optimal Jaw Mobility and Stability: Identifying TMD-related issues can help guide appropriate interventions to improve muscle coordination and jaw function.
✅ Identify Links to Airway and Sleep Disorders: TMD often coexists with conditions like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS), highlighting the need for integrative care.
✅ Collaborate for Better Patient Outcomes: Understanding TMD allows healthcare professionals to work effectively with dentists, physical therapists, and other specialists to ensure holistic patient care.
