Discover the Benefits of a Sleep Appliance for TMJ

At the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of Cleveland, we specialize in providing effective solutions for Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ) through our cutting-edge Appliance Therapy. TMJ disorder can significantly impact your quality of life, affecting your ability to eat, speak, and even sleep comfortably. Our team is dedicated to helping you find relief and regain control of your well-being.

What is Appliance Therapy?

Appliance Therapy involves the use of custom-made oral appliances designed to alleviate the symptoms associated with TMJ disorder and sleep-related issues. These appliances are worn during sleep and work by gently repositioning the jaw to reduce strain on the TMJ and improve airflow, resulting in improved sleep quality and reduced pain.

Benefits of Appliance Therapy for TMJ:

  • Alleviates jaw pain and discomfort
  • Reduces headaches and migraines
  • Improves sleep quality
  • Minimizes teeth grinding and clenching
  • Restores proper jaw alignment

How Appliance Therapy Differs from CPAP:

While Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy is effective for treating sleep apnea, it may not address TMJ-related issues. Appliance Therapy, on the other hand, offers a targeted approach to TMJ disorder by addressing the underlying causes of jaw pain and discomfort, as well as sleep-related issues.
