We’re an Open Book - Consult Our FAQs Below
- I just have headaches. Why was I referred to TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of Washington? Chronic headaches are often a symptom of undiagnosed conditions of sleep-related breathing disorders or an injury to the temporomandibular joint and surrounding structures. The doctors of TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centres have been able to find the primary cause and provide effective treatment for thousands of headache patients.
- I've already tried splints. What's different about your treatment? Unlike splints, the orthotics (orthopedic appliances) we use are individually designed using a peer-reviewed bite registration to provide the best position and fit for healing. They are used short-term (approximately 12 weeks) to provide support and protection to the joints during the rehabilitation process.
- I've used a night guard; it really wasn't that helpful. What's different about a sleep appliance? A night guard is typically made to protect teeth that are being worn down due to unconscious behavior during sleep. Often, that behavior is due to a breathing problem the patient is not aware of – it makes them unconsciously move the jaw around all night to get a better airway. A sleep appliance is specifically designed to maintain an open airway
