Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a complex, multifactorial condition influenced by musculoskeletal, psychological, postural, and behavioural factors. Addressing these layers in isolation can result in partial or short-term relief. A growing body of clinicians advocate for an integrative, patient-centred approach that combines physical, psychological, and behavioural therapies to promote long-term healing. This article explores how myofunctional therapy, temporomandibular joint massage, and hypnosis can improve TMD treatment and advocates for their widespread adoption in dentistry.
