JawSpace is developed using established digital infrastructure and input from industry professionals. Our technology partners support a secure and accessible platform for TMD self-management.
JawSpace is your guide to better TMD (Temporomandibular Disorders) and jaw pain management. Using an evidence-based approach, it provides tools and resources to support self-management of jaw-related discomfort and promote better jaw health. It provides tailored care to specific symptoms and needs.
JawSpace was founded in 2022 with the mission to transform the way TMD and jaw pain are managed. With 1 in 20 people globally living with TMD, we said, “enough is enough” to the confusion and frustration surrounding care. People needed clear, evidence-based guidance tailored to their symptoms—not outdated advice or one-size-fits-all solutions. JawSpace empowers individuals with the tools, knowledge, and support to take control of their jaw health and improve their daily lives.
TMD (Temporomandibular Disorders) are a group of conditions affecting the jaw, jaw joint, and surrounding muscles.
The term TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) is often used to refer to the same condition.
The most common TMD symptoms include:
Jaw or facial pain
Limited mouth opening or ‘locking’
Jaw clicking or popping sounds
Headaches
For most individuals with TMD, with the right techniques and support, these symptoms can be effectively managed to improve quality of life. JawSpace helps you find what works best for better TMD relief.
