TMJ Sleep Apnea

Chronic Pain

Chronic pain can be debilitating, hindering the ability to go about life as usual. It can manifest in many different ways, such as disabling headaches, migraines, jaw muscle soreness and locking of the jaw joint

Jaw Clenching

A common medical issue for millions of people around the world, jaw clenching is characterized by involuntary grinding and clenching of the teeth which can cause varying levels of discomfort to those affected.

Laser Therapy

This innovative treatment helps to reduce pain, inflammation, and the clicking sound that is associated with TMJ. Through the use of light energy in the form of lasers, the muscles around your jaw can be stimulated and improve mobility.

Migraine Relief

If you suffer from frequent and painful migraines, it is important to know if they are caused by a TMJ disorder. You may experience facial tenderness and muscle spasms, as well as headaches in your temples and around your eyes.

Orthopedic Dysfunction

A condition that results from damage to the bones, joints, muscles, tendons, or ligaments. It can result from degenerative changes such as osteoarthritis or wear and tear on the joints.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea

TMJ-related sleep apnea is a disorder that can have severe impacts on a person’s health. It’s due to the interference with airway pathways during sleep, leading to pauses in breathing and inadequate oxygen intake.

Teeth Grinding

Teeth grinding, or bruxism, is a common dental issue relating to TMJ, which can cause significant damage to the teeth and gums. It usually occurs unconsciously during sleep and is often caused by stress or anxiety. 

Snoring

Snoring can lead to sleep deprivation, which can in turn cause daytime fatigue, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. In severe cases, it can even contribute to accidents.

Nuvola OP

Nuvola® OP System is an innovative orthodontic protocol from Italy that combines the classic orthodontic biomechanic principles of aligner therapies with those of functional orthodontic therapy.

Ear Pain

Ear pain is often a symptom of TMJ leading to discomfort and sometimes a sensation of fullness in the ear. We alleviate symptoms by stabilizing the jaw position and maintaining open airways, respectively, during sleep.

Sleep Appliances

Custom-made devices worn at night to align and support the jaw, helping to reduce strain and alleviate associated discomfort. They prevent teeth grinding and clenching, to promote muscle relaxation and improved sleep quality.

CPAP

CPAP machines can assist TMJ patients by maintaining a constant airflow that helps keep the airway open and reduces jaw clenching during sleep, potentially easing TMJ symptoms and improving overall sleep quality.

About Us

Proper Diagnosis and Emphasis on Origin is Key to Successful Treatment

We provide comprehensive evaluations using the latest technologies to properly diagnose your condition. Through a thorough examination in which we evaluate structural injuries, systemic inflammatory conditions, and breathing obstructions, we can determine the cause of your pain or sleep TMJ dysfunction and direct appropriate treatments.

The goals in treatment are to rehabilitate injured structures, restore orthopedic function, and improve symptoms with long-term stabilization through both a structural and functional approach. Rather than treating symptoms, we address the underlying pathology to return you to a pain-free and well-rested life.

There is a strong relationship between temporomandibular joint dysfunction, headaches, sleep, and breathing. All must be evaluated and addressed in order to achieve the maximum therapeutic result.
