TMJ & SLEEP APNEA CARE IN SOUTHLAKE

Understanding the Link Between TMJ Disorders and Sleep Apnea

The jaw, airway, and surrounding muscles work together to support proper breathing and function—making TMJ disorders and sleep apnea closely connected. When the jaw joint is strained or misaligned, it can contribute to airway restriction during sleep. Likewise, untreated sleep apnea can increase stress on the jaw and facial muscles, often worsening symptoms such as pain, clenching, headaches, and jaw tension. At StarImage TMJ & Sleep Center, we evaluate both jaw function and airway health to better understand how these factors interact, allowing us to develop treatment plans focused on improving comfort, function, and sleep quality.

TMJ TREATMENT

Relief Starts With the Right Diagnosis

If you’re living with jaw pain, headaches, facial tension, or discomfort when chewing or speaking, TMJ dysfunction may be the cause. These symptoms can affect daily comfort, sleep quality, and overall function. At StarImage TMJ & Sleep Center, we take a detailed approach to evaluating jaw movement, bite alignment, and contributing factors to create a personalized TMJ treatment plan. Our goal is to improve comfort, restore proper jaw function, and help you return to daily life with less pain and strain.

StarImage TMJ & Sleep Center FAQs

Understanding TMJ disorders and sleep apnea is an important step toward finding relief and improving your quality of life. Explore the FAQs below to learn more about symptoms, evaluation, and treatment options available at our Southlake office.

Sleep apnea is a condition in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. Signs may include loud snoring, daytime fatigue, morning headaches, poor concentration, or restless sleep. Screening tools such as the Epworth Sleepiness Scale and a comprehensive evaluation help determine risk.

TMJ disorder occurs when the jaw joints and surrounding muscles are not functioning properly, often leading to pain, stiffness, clicking, or difficulty opening and closing the mouth. Diagnosis typically involves a detailed review of symptoms, evaluation of jaw movement and bite alignment, and diagnostic imaging when needed to determine contributing factors.

Jaw position, bite alignment, and airway space are closely related. In some cases, jaw dysfunction can contribute to airway obstruction during sleep. Addressing these factors together allows for a more complete approach to improving comfort, breathing, and sleep quality.
