Services for Adults
Diagnosis and Treatment Options for Sleep Disorders
Once diagnosed with a sleep condition, treatment options may include lifestyle changes, Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT), Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) devices, or surgery. OAT, which resembles mouthguards but requires custom design and fitting, is particularly effective for snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea, and also for severe cases where CPAP is intolerable.
Customization and Technology in Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT)
With over 100 FDA-approved appliances available for sleep apnea treatment, the skilled doctors at the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre use advanced technology to customize each appliance. This ensures the optimal positioning of the lower jaw and tongue, maximizing comfort and effectiveness for your unique needs.
Monitoring and Ongoing Care
Monitoring treatment effectiveness and scheduling regular follow-ups are crucial for maintaining successful results. At the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre, we prioritize these steps to ensure that our patients achieve the best possible outcomes.
Services for Children
Pediatric Treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) requires specialized treatment tailored to children’s needs, as adult therapies like CPAP and Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT) can interfere with their skeletal development.
Emphasis on Airway Volume and Obstruction
At TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre, we focus on increasing airway volume through orthodontics, addressing obstructions throughout the entire airway, not just in the mouth and nose. Our approach includes jaw expansion, myofunctional exercises, and lifestyle adjustments to enhance overall airway function.
Significance of Accurate Diagnosis and Collaborative Care
With an accurate diagnosis and a collaborative approach between medical and dental professionals, Pediatric OSA has a high success rate of resolution. This highlights the crucial importance of regular OSA screenings for children, as emphasized by the latest American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines.
