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.

Sleep Apnea Treatment FAQs

What Is Sleep Apnea?

As defined by the Mayo Clinic, sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that occurs when a person’s breathing stops and starts. It can be quite serious.

What are sleep apnea symptoms?

Common sleep apnea symptoms include pauses in breathing, loud breathing with daytime fatigue and sleepiness. More severe signs can include morning headaches, memory or concentration problems with depression, mood swings, and irritability. Type II diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure can occur as the patient’s cardiovascular system is stressed every night.

How are TMJ and sleep apnea related?

Both are caused by improper jaw/condylar position that adversity affects the head, neck, and postural musculature, thereby bringing the head forward. Treating the muscles and posture for TMJ and sleep apnea assures the individual of not only a proper airway but functional non-painful muscles, so that airway, posture, and bite are working toward a restful sleep with proper muscle function during the day. Maximize the patency of the airway by treating improper jaw position/posture which closes the airway usually by age 4.

What Complications Can Sleep Apnea Cause?

Sleep apnea can lead to some serious consequences. In addition to being tired during the daytime, these include high blood pressure and heart problems, as well as Type 2 diabetes and other health complications. Additionally, sleep apnea can cause distress to a person’s partner by interfering with their sleep. Sleep apnea has been linked to higher rates of depression and even car accidents.
