Debunk the Myths of TMJ Disorders and Learn
a Simple and Effective Treatment Technique
Advanced Practical Clinical Hands-on Course
This is NOT an Introductory Theoretical Course. Participants will learn the unique
Splint Treatment Technique, which will enable them to treat the following TMJ
symptoms exhibited in over 90% of the patients who visit the office:
 Clicking, Popping, Clenching, Grinding
 Jaw pain, Pain when Chewing, Uncomfortable Bite
 Limited Mouth Opening, Locked Disc
 Chronic Headaches, Neck pain, Facial pain,
 Ringing in the Ear, Dizziness, Loss of Balance
 Trigeminal Neuralgia, Fibromyalgia
To those who are already treating TMJ patients, this course will raise your clinical
skills and patient care to a new competence level. To those who are looking to
create a new “TMJ Disorder Program” within their general dental practice, this
course will enable them to start treatment right away, provide a clear guide on
what to study to build up a core foundation, and save years of learning time.
Current Treatment Modalities:
Splint Therapy and Dilemmas
Splint therapy is the most common treatment modality for TMJ disorders. However,
many different types of splints confuse practitioners, the learning techniques and
clinical applications of each splint are difficult, the treatment progress is nominal, and
there is no prediction of maximum medical improvement. Due to these issues, patients
and practitioners lose confidence in splint therapy and seek other treatment modalities.
Comprehensive Treatment




Pharmacological Management
Nerve Blocks/Epidural Injections
TM joint/Trigger Point /Botox Injections
Physical therapy, Chiropractic adjustment, Acupuncture.…
Unfortunately, these treatment modalities provide temporary symptom relief and do
not eliminate the underlying causes.
Consequently, it has been concluded that there is no proven treatment modality for TMJ
disorders and that the combination of splint therapy and comprehensive therapy is the
recommended treatment modality.
The Neuromuscular Splint Technique
This new splint technique was developed as a result of discovering the ‘Trigeminal Nerve
Response to 1/100mm Discrepancy in Occlusion’.
The efficacy of this technique is dramatic: symptoms begin to improve immediately after
the splint treatment is started and reaches maximum medical improvement within 3-4
months, without the use of heavy medications, injections, physical therapy or any other
treatment modalities.
If you are able to learn this revolutionary technique, it will not only solve current
treatment dilemmas but it will also change the way you treat TMJ disorders, transforming
your office into a life changing practice, and immeasurably helping your patient’s health
and lives.
