Did you know that sleep apnea and TMJ disorders are closely linked?

Dr. Pribyl takes a comprehensive approach, addressing jaw alignment to support your airway and improve breathing during sleep. Patients with sleep apnea are four times more likely to develop TMJ issues, which can impact overall health. By treating both conditions together, we provide holistic care that enhances your quality of life!

Holistic orthodontics: the first step to a healthier smile!

Starting as early as age 5-9, we guide jaw development and ensure teeth grow properly, preventing future issues like sleep apnea, speech problems, and TMJ disorders. Early treatment = healthier growth!

Orthodontic problems aren’t just about looks — they can affect your bite, speech, and long-term oral health.

Some of the most common issues we treat include:
• Overbite – Upper teeth sit too far over the lower teeth
• Underbite – Lower teeth stick out in front of upper teeth
• Crowding – Not enough space = teeth overlap
• Spacing – Gaps between teeth, even when none are missing

If you notice any of these in yourself or your child, it may be time for a consultation. Book an appointment with us at https://www.tmjsleepapnea.com/book-appt/!

Do you wake up with headaches that feel like they're right behind your eyes?

Tension headaches are a common symptom of TMJ disorders, similar to how sore muscles feel after a tough workout. Overworking your jaw can cause pain that extends from the jaw to the temples, resulting in headaches that feel like they’re right behind your eyes.

When your jaw muscles become too tense, the pain can spread to other nearby facial muscles, creating persistent tension headaches.

While every smile is unique, most orthodontic treatments last 12 to 24 months.

Your exact timeline depends on factors like:
• The complexity of your case
• The type of treatment (braces, aligners, etc.)
• How closely you follow your orthodontist’s instructions

If your child is struggling with attention, mood, or growth, the issue might start at night.

Obstructive sleep apnea in children often goes unnoticed, and it doesn’t just affect adults or kids with weight concerns.

Key warning signs include:
• Delayed growth
• Trouble concentrating
• Emotional regulation challenges
• Declining school performance

Sleep-disordered breathing can quietly disrupt your child’s health and development.

Think TMJ only affects your jaw?

It might be causing symptoms you’d never expect: eye twitching, dizziness, sinus pressure, and even numbness in your arms. TMJ disorders can impact more than just your smile; they can affect your entire body and overall well-being.
