Many of our patients come to us unaware that their tongue may be playing a major role in their airway issues. When the jaw is underdeveloped or the mouth too small, the tongue often has nowhere to go but backward—blocking airflow and impacting sleep and even heart rhythm.

Through proper jaw positioning and appliance therapy, we help reposition the tongue and restore airway space. In some cases, this can uncover underlying conditions like atrial fibrillation, which may have gone undetected.

Airway health is whole-body health. At The Gelb Center, we’re here to help you breathe, sleep, and function better—one personalized step at a time.

Ever wonder what a follow-up visit looks like at The Gelb Center?

It’s more than just a quick check — it’s a thoughtful conversation about your life, your comfort, and how your treatment is working day to day.

In this appointment, Dr. Gelb checks in on a patient’s bite, airway support, and how her appliances are helping her stay comfortable — whether she’s playing with her grandchildren or leading professional consultations.

We take the time to understand your goals, your daily activities, and how your jaw and airway health are impacting your quality of life. That way, we can keep fine-tuning your care for the best long-term results.

Nothing makes us happier than hearing stories like this. After starting treatment with Dr. Gelb, this patient’s TMJ pain, headaches, and neck tension have dramatically improved — so much so she can now smile, laugh, and lift her twin grandchildren with ease.

At The Gelb Center, we take a comprehensive approach to TMJ, airway, and sleep issues, helping patients reclaim their comfort and confidence.

Putting the pieces together — that’s what comprehensive care looks like.

In this video, Dr. Gelb walks through a patient’s symptoms, connecting the dots between jaw alignment, airway health, and chronic issues like headaches or fatigue. This is the kind of in-depth evaluation that allows us to treat the root cause, not just the surface symptoms.

At The Gelb Center, we look at the whole picture to build a plan that supports lasting relief and long-term wellness.

It’s National Align Your Teeth Day — and at The Gelb Center, we know it’s about more than just a straight smile.

Properly aligned teeth can support a healthier bite, reduce strain on your jaw joints, and even contribute to better airway function. That means aligning your teeth isn’t just a cosmetic choice — it’s a decision that can impact everything from headaches to sleep quality.

Whether through clear aligners, myofunctional appliances, or a custom integrative approach, we’re here to guide you toward a smile that looks great and helps you feel your best.

What does airway-focused or TMJ-focused orthodontics look like?

It’s not just about straight teeth. It’s about creating a bite that supports your jaw, airway, and overall health.

In this appointment, Dr. Gelb demonstrates how adjusting the jaw position can improve comfort and function, and how we use tools like Invisalign, build-ups, or Myoaligners to help teeth meet in this healthier, more stable position.

At The Gelb Center, we take an integrative approach to orthodontics, always considering how your bite impacts your breathing, posture, and long-term wellness.

If you’re living with jaw pain, clicking, or even daytime fatigue, this kind of care could be life-changing.

When the bite is changed without proper guidance, the body doesn’t forget.

This patient came to us after working with another provider, without the use of an AM aligner to help guide the bite back each morning. Over time, her jaw adapted to the new position, and now it won’t return to her original bite.

At The Gelb Center, we’ve seen this firsthand. That’s why we use precision-designed appliances and proper protocols to support healthy, stable, long-term results—whether it’s for TMJ relief or airway support.

Struggling to sleep through the summer heat? You're not alone.

High temperatures can disrupt your body’s ability to regulate sleep, especially if you already struggle with airway issues or TMJ. Here are a few ways to support better sleep when the nights get warm:

✅ Keep your room between 60–67°F (use fans or AC)
✅ Opt for breathable bedding like cotton or linen
✅ Avoid heavy meals and alcohol before bed
✅ Cool down with a lukewarm shower before sleep
✅ Stay hydrated—but limit fluids 1–2 hours before bedtime
✅ Block out light to help your brain trigger melatonin
✅ If you’re a mouth breather, try nasal strips or an oral appliance to support airflow

Quality sleep is essential for brain and body repair, especially when your airway health is involved. If restful nights still feel out of reach, we’re here to help.

A healthy smile starts with a stable foundation.

When the upper teeth are set too far back, it can compromise both your TMJ and your airway. At The Gelb Center, we realign the bite to bring the jaw forward—relieving joint pressure and opening the airway.

This isn’t just orthodontics—it’s total system balance.

Because when the jaw, TMJ, and airway work together, everything improves.

Your sleep and your health are deeply connected—whether your doctor asks about it or not.

At The Gelb Center, we look beyond symptoms and ask the right questions. Because poor sleep and disordered breathing don’t just cause fatigue—they disrupt the body’s ability to heal, regulate inflammation, and maintain balance.

When your airway is compromised, it affects everything: brain function, immunity, metabolism, and more.
