Help The TMJ Association Find New Treatments
“TMJD has affected every aspect of my life: physically, emotionally, financially, psychologically, professionally, and it has affected my relationships, my passions, my independence, and at times my dignity. It cut me off at the knees and changed the landscape of my life, and what I imagined my life would be.”

If you or your loved one has TMD problems, you know firsthand the need for scientifically-based information and treatments. The TMJ Association is the only organization dedicated to getting the best science this country has to offer directed toward these conditions to help the millions of people suffering like Adriana.
One way we do this is through sponsoring scientific meetings, co-sponsored with the National Institutes of Health. We bring in world class scientists to show how applying the cutting edge scientific technology to TMD will improve the understanding of these conditions and lead to treatments that work.
The Eighth Science Meeting of The TMJ Association will be held September 11-13, 2016 in Bethesda, Maryland. The topic of this meeting is How Can Precision Medicine Be Applied to Temporomandibular Disorders and its Comorbidities? The estimated budget is $112,000 for this three-day meeting. Twenty-two world class scientists have confirmed participation as speakers.
Help us take Temporomandibular Disorders research to a new level by supporting this meeting through your tax-deductible gift to The TMJ Association.
