The medical professionals at the TMJ Center are committed to helping patients with any and every sleep-related breathing disorder. It is headed by its founder, Dr. Steven Olmos. This require working with neuropathic disorders, headaches, airway obstructions, sleep apnea and snoring, temporomandibular disorders (TMI), and problems with the head and neck. Of these, TMI is the most common affliction among patients. This is a malady that includes head pain conditions such as headaches, migraines, and neck pain. The TMJ Center team have come up with a proven method for effectively diagnosing and finding the right treatment for TMI and all sleeping disorders.

This world-renowned medical establishment uses the latest technological advances and knowledge to effectively perform sleep apnea treatment for children and adults. They have the tools needed to improve problems in oral airways in patients of any age. Their treatments are guaranteed to improve their patients breathing, sleeping, and general quality of life. They especially excel at helping patients with sleep apnea. This is the affliction that is caused by the blockage of the airway during sleep. Normally, the throat will remain open during slumber, but sleep apnea happens when it has collapsed.

The collapse in sleep apnea most commonly occurs along the soft palate at the base of the tongue. A collapse that results in just a partial obstruction typically leads to snoring. These partial apneas can occur many times a night and may not even be noticed by the sleeper him or herself. This is a form of sleep apnea that is much more bothersome for sleep partners. However, a complete collapse and therefore complete obstruction results in the sleeper ceasing to breathe altogether and to be awakened. This is known as total apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea is known as OSA. This primarily known as an adult malady. However, it can also afflict children. That is why the medical community has perfected sleep apnea treatment for children .

In fact, some medical experts now believe that OSA may be the root cause of some of a child’s behavioral problems. It is a problem that must be diagnosed by a doctor but can be effectively treated by a dentist trained in such matters. The diagnosing doctor will typically do so by performing a polysomnography and/or a home sleep test. If your child is experiencing even a little bit of sleep problems, the professionals at TMI & Sleep Therapy Centre highly recommend getting it checked out as soon as possible since it will keep on getting worse and worse if not treated right away.

It may be that specific parent may not recognize the seriousness of the matter if they never experienced this in their own families growing up. TMI & STC is ready and willing to get orthodontics involved in your child’s treatment if necessary.
