Snoring

Snoring is not just a sleep disruptor; it could indicate underlying health issues.

Many people don't realize that temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues can contribute to snoring. When the TMJ is misaligned or strained, it can affect the jaw and tongue position during sleep. This misalignment can cause the airway to become partially blocked, making it harder for air to flow smoothly. As a result, vibrations occur in the throat, which leads to the sound of snoring.

By understanding the link between TMJ problems and snoring, people can better address the root cause and find effective ways to improve their sleep.

Symptoms of TMJ-Related Snoring

If your snoring is related to TMJ, you might experience additional symptoms, such as:

  • Jaw pain, tension, or soreness, especially in the morning
  • Frequent headaches or neck pain
  • Popping and clicking sounds when moving your jaw
  • Difficulty opening or closing your mouth
  • Interrupted breathing during sleep or waking up gasping for air

At Smyle Square Dental, we offer effective, non-invasive treatments for TMJ-related snoring, including:

  • Jaw realignment therapy: Neuromuscular treatments help correct jaw misalignment, easing muscle tension and promoting proper breathing during sleep.
  • Mouthguards: To prevent teeth grinding, which can worsen TMJ symptoms and snoring.
