TMJ & Snoring Treatment Livingston, NJ

What Is TMJ Treatment?

TMJ treatment focuses on relieving pain and discomfort associated with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. The TMJ is a hinge connecting your jaw to your skull, and when it's not functioning properly, you may experience symptoms such as jaw pain, difficulty chewing, and headaches.

At Dentistry With a Smile, we use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to identify TMJ issues and craft a personalized treatment plan. This may include custom night guards, stress management techniques, or other therapeutic approaches to restore function and alleviate pain.

Don't ignore the pain—relief is possible, and we’re here to help.

What Is Snoring Therapy?

Snoring may seem harmless, but it could indicate a larger issue like sleep apnea, a condition that disrupts your breathing during sleep. If left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to fatigue, high blood pressure, and other serious health problems.

Our snoring therapy includes innovative solutions like custom oral appliances and sleep dentistry techniques designed to keep your airways open and improve your quality of sleep. With these treatments, you'll wake up feeling rested, and so will everyone in your household!

Did you know? Sleep apnea and TMJ disorder are often related and bruxism (teeth grinding) is a common symptom of both.

Frequently Asked Questions About TMJ & Snoring Treatment

What causes TMJ disorders?

TMJ disorders can result from various factors, including teeth grinding (bruxism), jaw misalignment, stress, arthritis, or injury to the jaw. A comprehensive evaluation will help us determine the specific cause in your case.

How is TMJ diagnosed?

We use advanced diagnostic tools, including digital scans and X-rays, to assess your jaw structure and pinpoint any abnormalities.

Can snoring therapy really stop snoring?

Our custom oral appliances reposition your jaw to keep your airways open during sleep, significantly reducing snoring and improving sleep quality.

Is snoring always linked to sleep apnea?

Not always, but frequent or loud snoring is a common symptom of sleep apnea. A professional evaluation can determine the root cause of your snoring.

Are oral appliances comfortable to wear?

Our custom-fitted appliances are designed for maximum comfort while you sleep. After a short adjustment period, most patients wear them with ease.

How long does TMJ treatment take?

The length of treatment varies depending on the severity of your condition. Some patients experience relief in a few weeks, while others may require ongoing management.

Are these treatments covered by insurance?

Many insurance plans cover TMJ and sleep apnea treatments. Our team will help verify your coverage and provide any necessary documentation.

What happens if I ignore these issues?

Ignoring TMJ or snoring problems can lead to worsening pain, decreased quality of life, and, in the case of untreated sleep apnea, serious health concerns like cardiovascular issues. Seeking treatment early is key to avoiding these complications.
