Core Tip	Despite the spectrum of variable symptoms, the pathology of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) is fundamentally a problem of excessive involuntary activity of certain stomatognathic muscles. The subconscious temporomandibular dysfunction (STeDy) therapy utilizes a thick awareness splint in order to gradually bring into the patient’s cognitive attention whatever stressful condition causes subconscious muscle activity. The STeDy therapy was applied for one year in 62 patients and successfully eliminated all TMD objective and subjective clinical symptoms as well as TMD-related radiographic findings. A follow-up after an additional year indicated the permanent nature of the cognitive treatment in all patients.
