TMJ Treatment

TMJ (temporomandibular joint) refers to the joint that connects your jaw to your skull. It allows you to move your jaw up and down, side to side, and is essential for actions like chewing and speaking. However, when the TMJ is misaligned or dysfunctional, it can lead to a range of painful symptoms, including:

• Jaw pain or tenderness
• Difficulty opening or closing your mouth
• Clicking or popping sounds when moving the jaw
• Headaches or migraines
• Ear pain or a feeling of fullness in the ears
• Teeth grinding or clenching (often during sleep)

Airway health is closely linked to your breathing patterns, which can significantly affect your overall well-being. Poor airway function, often caused by obstructed breathing, can lead to issues like:

• Sleep apnea or snoring
• Fatigue or trouble sleeping
• Difficulty breathing during physical activity
• Chronic dry mouth
• Poor concentration and irritability

Proper airway function is essential for getting enough oxygen and maintaining healthy sleep, which is crucial for your physical and mental health.
