Oh My Jaw is more than a support group—it’s a home and a movement. It’s whatever you need it to be because this grassroots organization is built around the wants and needs of the members of the community it serves. A place where you can find your people, swap stories, share hacks, and fight for the care and respect you deserve
Oh My Jaw is a nonprofit all about changing the perception of TMJ disorders and women’s health issues affecting the jaw.
We’re here to educate the world about life with TMJ and debunk the myth that TMJ is just a stress response. It’s a complex condition impacting way more than just your jaw joint. Our mission is to spread the word through health advocacy organizations and highlight the broad health implications of TMJ disorders, making sure everyone gets the full picture – because we’ve got issues, and they aren’t all in our head!
To raise awareness, improve access to care, and crush the stigma that’s followed TMJ/TMD for too long.
Every patient gets comprehensive, compassionate care that treats the whole person—not just the symptoms.
TMJ/TMD isn’t just about a sore jaw – it’s way more than that. TMDs (Temporomandibular Disorders) are connected to over 30 different health conditions that can mess with everything from your jaw joints to your entire body. It’s not just in your head, we promise!
Shoutout to the NASEM report for that one.
If TMJ is messing with your vibe—whether it’s jaw pain, migraines, earaches, or just making life more complicated—you’re not alone. We get it because we’ve been there too.
TMJ impacts millions, but it doesn’t get nearly the funding it deserves compared to other chronic conditions. The result? Limited progress and way too many unanswered questions.
Women are hit the hardest by TMJ, yet research doesn’t prioritize their needs or experiences. We’re tired of healthcare ignoring gender-specific realities—this gap has to go.
How many times have patients heard, “It’s all in your head”? Guess what…It’s not. This outdated mindset delays care, invalidates pain, and leaves people without the treatment they need.
Finding accurate info and specialized care shouldn’t feel like solving a puzzle. But for too many TMJ sufferers, it’s a struggle to access the right care, leading to confusion and frustration.
