What We Treat

Keeping the air passages open during sleep is critical to normal breathing. Smooth, unobstructed breathing is key to getting a restful night’s sleep. As you breathe, air passes through the nose and mouth and inward into your lungs, moving past the soft palate, uvula, tonsils and tongue.

Snoring is a respiratory sound generated in the upper airway that typically occurs during inspiration but may also occur during expiration. Snoring may awaken the patient from sleep, but many people are only aware that they snore because it disturbs their bed partner.

Upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS) is a condition that was first identified and described at Stanford University. UARS is very similar to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) because it is a breathing- disorder that occurs while we are sleeping or SRBD.

Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) are a complex and poorly understood set of conditions. TMD refers to problems related to pain, inflammation, and improper functioning of the jaw, muscles surrounding the jaw joints and associated structures.
