Co-Hosts, Open Up: A TMJ Discussion Dr. Pam Marzban and Dr. Mac Lee team up to bring clarity to one of the most misunderstood pain conditions in healthcare: TMD. Together, they combine more than seven decades of clinical experience, teaching, research, and patient advocacy. Dr. Pam Marzban is a nationally recognized neuromuscular dentist, educator, and lecturer known for her clear, practical explanations and her commitment to patient-centered care. Her work in craniofacial development, airway health, and TMJ biomechanics brings a modern, comprehensive view of TMD to the profession. Dr. Mac Lee practiced dentistry for 50 years and has dedicated his career to helping patients and professionals understand the true mechanical causes of TMD. His work focuses on the compressed condyle, the displaced disc, and the “TMJ Trifecta” that drives most chronic jaw and headache pain. He is the author of The TMJ Trifecta and Life-Robbing Pain: TMD. On their podcast, Open Up: A TMJ Discussion, they break down complex topics in simple terms, share real cases, interview experts, and guide listeners toward better understanding, better questions, and better outcomes. Their goal is straightforward: Help people finally understand why they hurt and help dentists learn what to do about it.Dr. Pamela Marzban and Dr. Mac Lee Hygiène et vie saine Maladie et pathologies physiques

  • Why Do Some People Have TMD Pain and Others Don’t? (Ep 53)

    Why Do Some People Have TMD Pain and Others Don’t? (Ep 53)
    Sep 30 2026

    Why do some people grind their teeth for years and barely have any pain, while others have severe TMJ pain without much tooth wear?


    In this episode, Pamela and Mac talk about what may actually be going on when your jaw hurts. They get into bite, muscles, grinding, stress, headaches, and why two people with very different dental wear can have completely different symptoms.


    They also share real patient stories involving headaches, jaw pain, grinding, stress, orthotics, and TENS and how looking at both the jaw and the person can change the way you approach treatment.


    Plus, they talk about a bigger question in dentistry: are we looking at the teeth too much, or are we missing what’s happening with the jaws and airway?


    No simple answers, just a real conversation about TMJ pain and why it can be so complicated.

  • Menopause, Sleep Apnea & TMJ: What Women Need to Know (Ep 52)

    Menopause, Sleep Apnea & TMJ: What Women Need to Know (Ep 52)
    Sep 16 2026

    What does menopause have to do with TMJ and sleep apnea? More than many women realize.


    In this episode of Open Up: A TMJ Discussion, Pamela and Mac explore the connection between menopause, TMD/TMJ pain, and sleep apnea and why symptoms in women can sometimes be overlooked or attributed to stress, hormones, or simply “getting older.”


    They discuss why women, particularly during the menopausal years, may experience changes in sleep, jaw pain, headaches, clenching, and other symptoms that deserve a closer look.


    They also talk about:

    • The connection between TMD and sleep apnea

    • Why sleep apnea isn't just a problem for overweight men

    • How hormonal changes may intersect with sleep and pain

    • Why women with headaches, jaw pain, or poor sleep may need more than a stress-related explanation

    • The role of sleep studies, CT/CBCT imaging, and EMG testing

    • Why looking at both the TMJ and airway can be important

    • Differences in how men and women tend to seek care and advocate for their health

    • Why comprehensive evaluation matters before assuming you know the cause of someone's symptoms

    If you're a woman experiencing poor sleep, jaw pain, headaches, clenching, or changes around menopause, this conversation may give you some important questions to bring to your healthcare providers.

  • Patrick McKeown: Why Nasal Breathing Matters (Ep 51)

    Patrick McKeown: Why Nasal Breathing Matters (Ep 51)
    Aug 27 2026

    What if the way you breathe every day is affecting your sleep, your jaw, your facial development and your overall health?


    In this episode of Open Up: A TMJ Discussion, Dr. Pamela Marzban sits down with internationally recognized breathing expert Patrick McKeown, author of

    The Oxygen Advantage and a leading voice in Buteyko breathing.


    Patrick explains why nasal breathing matters, how mouth breathing can affect sleep and craniofacial development, and why CO₂ is essential for getting oxygen to your tissues. They also discuss the connection between dysfunctional breathing, sleep apnea, anxiety, airway health, and dental problems.


    You’ll learn:


    • Why chronic mouth breathing can impact the teeth, jaw, airway, and sleep

    • The surprising role of CO₂ in oxygen delivery

    • Why “more breathing” doesn't necessarily mean more oxygen

    • How nasal breathing can help regulate the nervous system

    • The connection between breathing patterns and sleep apnea

    • Why children are especially important to intervene with early

    • How breathing re-education can complement dental and airway treatment

    • Patrick’s approach to mouth taping and the development of Myotape


    This conversation brings together breathing science, dentistry, sleep, and craniofacial development to answer one important question:


    Are we overlooking breathing as a critical part of health?
