An underdeveloped or misaligned jaw can obstruct breathing and disrupt sleep. This is a root cause behind conditions like snoring, sleep apnea, and chronic fatigue.
Jaw misalignment may also contribute to headaches, teeth grinding, anxiety, ADHD, and bedwetting in children.
Over time, inadequate oxygen supply from obstructed breathing is linked to serious diseases including hypertension, obesity, diabetes, cancer, and dementia.
Treating jaw alignment and airway issues can help resolve a wide range of health, behavioral, and cognitive problems in children and adults.
Ask our knowledgeable doctors about airway-focused treatment options. We dig deep to understand root causes, not just symptoms. Let us help you breathe, sleep, and live better.
TMD can be closely tied to your sleep quality. Poor sleep from conditions like sleep apnea deprives your body of enough deep sleep and oxygen. At the same time, TMD misalignment of the jaw joint can make you prone to disrupted breathing while you sleep.
These interconnected problems become a vicious cycle impacting your sleep, pain, inflammation, and health. By treating TMD and sleep apnea together, we can resolve symptoms and improve your sleep, energy, pain levels, and quality of life.

Sleep Apnea/Snoring is defined as the absence of breathing during sleep. Snoring can be a warning sign of a serious health problem where the airway closes during sleep and may even become life- threatening. The tongue and lower jaw position play a major role in snoring and OSA.
Signs of poor sleep include:
Daytime sleepiness
Morning headache or TMJ soreness
Restless sleep and gasping for air
Excessive daytime sleepiness
Heartburn and GERD
Anxiety or depression
Children:ADHD/ADD, learning disabilities, bedwetting, teeth grinding, snoring.
A complete dental and medical history, screening exam and diagnostic tests will be performed. An evaluation of the head, neck, airway space, tongue and TMJ to evaluate and the lower jaw position. A referral to a sleep physician for an assessment and a sleep study will be recommended when indicated.
Once all diagnostic testing and results are gathered and obstructive sleep apnea diagnosis is confirmed by the Sleep specialist, a customized plan will be presented and may include the right appliance in conjunction with other therapies.
Oral Appliance Therapy, or OAT for short, uses a special mouthguard. This mouthguard changes the position of your jaw when you sleep, which prevents oral tissue from sagging into your airway. This means that your breathing won’t be interrupted at night. OAT is ideal for patients with minor-to-moderate apnea.
Your sleep specialist and your dentist may make some lifestyle recommendations to help with sleep apnea. These may include quitting smoking, exercising, losing weight, avoiding drugs and alcohol (especially before bed), and sleeping on your side, rather than on your back or your stomach.
Both oral appliance therapy and CPAP can be effective treatments for sleep apnea and TMJ pain. Oral appliances can effectively treat mild to moderate sleep apnea while also providing relief for TMJ pain by repositioning the jaw. CPAP is considered more consistently effective for severe sleep apnea but requires wearing a face mask attached to a machine, which some find uncomfortable and disruptive for sleep. It's important to discuss your specific symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle with your doctor to find the best treatment for your sleep apnea and TMJ pain.

There is not ONE cause for jaw problems and all patients cannot all be treated using the same protocol. It is crucial to determine the origin of the pain and make a proper diagnosis before treatment can be initiated. Although not life threatening, If the TMJ disorder is left untreated, it can lead to severe chronic pain and development of diseases such as anxiety and depression.

Don’t delay treatment. Dental Implants preserve your oral health. Take our brief quiz to see if you qualify.

At your consultation, your dentist will determine if dental implants are right for you. Your doctor will examine your mouth, take x-rays, and determine if your jaw is strong and healthy enough to support one or more dental implants. You and your dentist can also explore other restorative dentistry options at this time.
After you’ve been approved for treatment, your dentist will create a surgical plan for your dental implant, and schedule your oral surgery appointment. At this appointment, your dentist will create a small opening in your gum tissue, place a dental implant secure in the jaw, then clean the area and suture it shut to encourage proper healing.
Once your implant has been placed, healing will begin. It takes 1-2 weeks to heal completely from surgery, but it will take between 3-6 months for your dental implant to bond permanently with your jaw bone in a process called “osseointegration”.
