Our team uses advanced sleep studies and airway assessments to pinpoint the underlying causes of disrupted sleep, helping patients achieve restorative, uninterrupted rest.

Our non-invasive treatment options include oral appliance therapy, airway management techniques, and lifestyle adjustments to improve breathing patterns. Left untreated, sleep disorders can contribute to fatigue, difficulty concentrating, high blood pressure, and other serious health concerns.

    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.

    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.
