Sleep Apnea Disorder
What Does The Airway Look Like?

Normal Airway
The airway in people who do not snore or have sleep apnea remains open during sleep with the lips sealed. Normal airway during sleep is open and unobstructed. It is possible to snore without sleep apnea.

Obstructed Airway
The airway in people who have sleep apnea collapses during sleep. This is due to forward head position (never corrected) with improper jaw position. There are no snoring sounds since no air is moving. At the end of the apnea phase, there is typically a gasp or snort as the air starts flowing again. It is possible to have sleep apnea without snoring.

Splints

At TMJ Pain & Sleep Center, we approach treatment and the use of splints differently. Splints are only used for two weeks during the treatment process and are worn 24/7 with the exception of eating until an orthotic is delivered. This differs from other offices since our splints are used 24/7 in a dynamic manner. Traditional splints are worn at night and are static since you are sleeping and the jaw does not move. A static splint is usually made for people with teeth grinding problems but cannot cure TMJ. At the TMJ Pain & Sleep Center, our splints are made of a softer material and are only worn for two weeks in preparation for a neuromuscular orthotic.
