What is Mastering TMD & Sleep?Â
This course is your complete clinical roadmap — crafted for healthcare professionals ready to deepen their understanding of the complex relationship between airway health, craniofacial development, pain patterns, and sleep dysfunction.
Whether you're just beginning or seeking to sharpen your integrative clinical skills, this course arms you with the essential tools, knowledge, and frameworks to confidently assess and treat these multifactorial conditions with clarity and care.

Integrative, All-in-One Clinical Framework
Gain a complete system that connects the dots between TMD, sleep disorders, and orofacial pain — combining diagnostics, treatment pathways, and interdisciplinary collaboration in one streamlined course.

Real-World Tools for Confident Diagnosis
Learn how to screen, assess, and prioritise patient needs using simplified flowcharts, autonomic testing, and practical tools — designed to help you tackle complex cases with clarity and confidence.

Treatment Strategies
Evidence-based treatment strategies for TMD and sleep-related issues, combining dental, behavioural, and therapeutic approaches to relieve pain, restore function, and improve sleep quality. Designed to address the root cause.
No Non-Sense Learning
This course will delve into prioritising TMD symptoms and assessing the degeneration level of the autonomic nervous system. Understanding which injuries the patient’s brain is most concerned about will guide your treatment decisions.
You Can’t Treat What You Don’t Understand — Until Now
If you’ve ever found yourself wondering…
-
"Why do so many of my patients with jaw pain also have sleep issues — and how do I treat both?"
-
"Am I missing key airway or sleep-related contributors to orofacial pain?"
-
"I want to treat sleep apnoea, but I don’t know where to begin or what’s within my scope."
-
"I’m overwhelmed by conflicting treatment methods. What actually works?"
-
"How do I build confidence in treating TMD without risking making things worse?"
-
"Where can I find a structured system that combines diagnostics, treatment, and collaboration?"
Then this course is designed for you.
It's time to stop feeling unsure — and start treating with clarity, confidence, and care.

These Topics and More!

Anatomy & Function
of the TMJ
Understand the bones, muscles, ligaments, and nerves involved in TMJ function, explores how these components work together for movement and stability, and highlights common variations and pathologies.

Neuroanatomy
Explore the structure and function of the central nervous system with a focus on pain perception and modulation. This lecture covers key components such as the meninges, cerebrospinal fluid, and how the brain interprets and responds to pain — providing essential insights for understanding the neurological basis of orofacial pain.

Electrodiagnostics (JVA, Jaw Tracking, EMG)
Discover how electrodiagnostic tools bring precision to TMD assessment. Learn how technologies like EMG, JVA, and T-Scan offer objective insights into muscle activity, joint stability, and bite force, supporting more accurate diagnoses and targeted treatment planning.

Sleep Disorders & TMJ Dysfunction
Explore how sleep disorders impact overall health and TMJ function. Learn to identify sleep stages, common conditions like OSA and insomnia, and understand key brain structures and hormones involved in sleep. This module also covers diagnostic tools, treatment options including CPAP and oral appliances, and highlights the critical role of interdisciplinary care.

Sleep Appliance Therapy
& Nasal Breathing
Gain practical knowledge on the use of oral appliances in managing sleep-disordered breathing. Learn about appliance types, indications, side effects, titration protocols, and patient selection criteria. This lecture also explores the importance of nasal breathing and collaborative care with sleep specialists for successful treatment outcomes.

Nutrition & Chronic Pain Management
Understand the role of nutrition in reducing pain and inflammation. This session covers the Deflamation Diet, key nutrients like vitamin D, B12, and magnesium, and the gut-brain connection. Learn evidence-based strategies to support chronic pain patients through dietary interventions that promote healing and overall wellbeing.
