Your TMJ Voice is Needed!

There is power in numbers and your voice matters! There are many ways you can participate – as a large vocal community, we can accomplish so much more when we join forces and take action together!    

Register with the TMJA

We have had much success with policy decision-makers, but we can only imagine how much more powerful we will be working together. When we visit elected officials to advocate for patients’ needs, we are often asked how many patients we have heard from in that officials’ state. By simply registering your information with us, you will help us to continue to advocate for your needs as well as:

  • Notify you of an opportunity to participate in patient surveys and clinical studies
  • Notify you of opportunities to provide your TMJ testimony in writing or at public meetings
  • Invite you to join in activities such as the Patient-Led RoundTable project
  • Provide you with the information to advocate for TMJ patient needs by writing or calling your elected officials
  • Receive our free e-newsletter, TMJ News Bites, to stay informed of current activities and TMJ news.

Submit Your TMJ Story

Sharing your story is empowering and goes a long way in supporting others suffering with TMJ disorders, as well as educating the public about the real life challenges of living with a TMJ disorder. Consider submitting your story and experiences with us through email (info@tmj.org) or upload a short video clip.

An Example of a Patient Educating our Elected Officials

A Congressional Lunch and Learn Zoom session was held earlier this year in which attendees learned about Temporomandibular Disorders. We applaud Dr. Suzie Bergman who has been an advocate for raising awareness about temporomandibular joint issues and the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research for including TMD in this educational event.
