The jaw is a complicated intersection of overlapping functions, like breathing: the airway has to pass through the jaw to reach the lungs. Not only that, but the jaw is the major bone support for the airway, and its position becomes critical when a person sleeps and relaxes the muscles that normally help hold the airway open.

So it’s no wonder that people at a high risk of sleep apnea are also nearly four times more likely to develop TMJ. Dysfunction in this area leads to multiple, radiating problems. To be treated successfully, they often have to be treated together.

Are you having trouble sleeping? Whether you can’t fall asleep, can’t stay asleep, or just wake up unrested, we can probably help. Learn more about whether jaw problems might be contributing to your sleep problems at https://www.bitealign.com/sleep-dentistry/!

Some physicians truly believe that CPAP is the only successful treatment for obstructive sleep apnea, but oral appliance therapy offers a treatment that's just as effective and increases compliance in most patients!

Benefits of oral appliances include:
• Increased compliance (you're more likely to use it consistently!)
• No noise
• Protects your joints and muscles
• Custom fit to you

Oral appliances offer an effective treatment option for patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, find out if this treatment is right for you - book an appointment with us at https://www.bitealign.com/book-appt/!
