Temporal mandibular disorder (TMD) is one of the most overlooked causes of chronic disease. Many people have a hard time making the connection of jaw health to systemic overall health. This article is meant to be a general summary of how TMD can cause chronic disease throughout the body, the causes of TMD, and how to treat it.

Thanks, that is a good article. The orthodontist (Dwight Jennings) referenced in many of the links at the end of the article is about an hour from me. I plan to do a consult with him.
Just read article again. Isn't this a very different approach from Mewing and other maxilla-driven approaches since it starts with putting the mandible in proper position?
1) use Myotronics K7 system to find optimal mandible position
2) fix mandible in place with orthotic (can take up to 1 year)
3) use maxilla growth appliance to move maxilla forward to meet mandible
4) erupt molars
How does one erupt molars?
