A Voice Teacher's Guide to Temporomandibular Disorders
Clukey, Jane Louise
ProQuest LLC, D.M.A. Dissertation, Shenandoah University
Temporomandibular Disorders are a prevalent group of disorders affecting the temporomandibular joints and surrounding structures, including the masticatory muscles, ligaments, and tissues. Voice pedagogy literature and social media suggest an incomplete understanding of TMDs among voice teachers, with no repository containing a synthesis of current information. The purpose of this dissertation was, therefore, to create a practical guide to Temporomandibular Disorders that would be relevant to singing and presented in a way that would be accessible to voice teachers in the teaching studio. The first section of the dissertation contains information about anatomy and pathophysiology of the TMJ from the perspective of the biopsychosocial medical model and a review of literature describing the relationship between TMDs and the voice. The second section describes the voice teacher's role in diagnosis and management of TMDs, discusses considerations for voice teacher response using the biopsychosocial model and outlines recommendations for adaptations in the voice studio. The entire document concludes with suggestions for future research and instructions for specific vocal exercises to be used for TMD management.
