Bruxism is an involuntary common condition also known as grinding or clenching of the teeth. It can be caused by different stressors, including stress and anxiety, bite function and tooth alignment. There are options to treat this condition. The first is an occlusal guard, which helps to protect the teeth from wear or tooth fracture and helps to alleviate unnatural bite forces. Occlusal guards are digitally scanned and eliminate taking traditional impressions. Another form of treatment for TMJ is Botox. It is also a conservative approach to eliminate discomfort caused by excessive biting pressure.
Sleep Apnea is a debilitating sleep-related breathing disorder defined as the cessation of breathing for 10 seconds or more. During sleep, the body's muscles relax, causing the soft tissue of the airway to collapse - which obstructs the airway. This disruption prevents a restful night's sleep, negatively impacting one's health and well-being.
At least 80 million Americans snore, which is a sign of restricted airflow and impeded breathing during sleep. We recommend EMA devices that are comfortable to wear and easy to customize, providing safe and effective treatment of sleep apnea and snoring. The EMA appliance fits inside the mouth, is portable and allows the wearer to change sleep positions. EMA appliances are only available through dental professionals.
