Services
Sleep Apnea Treatment
Our sleep apnea treatment addresses both the mechanical and muscular components of breathing disorders. We employ comprehensive diagnostics, including multinight sleep studies and EMG, to create individualized plans. Patients experience reduced snoring, improved sleep quality, and restored daily daytime energy.
TMJ Management
Our TMJ management focuses on diagnosing jaw dysfunction through EMG, jawtracking, and sonography daily. We integrate myofunctional therapy, posture analysis, and targeted specific exercises to relieve pain. Clients report significant reductions in daily headaches, improved sleep, and restored jaw mobility.
Myobrace Therapy
Myobrace therapy corrects malocclusion by guiding teeth alignment with custom orthodontic appliances. We assess each patients bite and muscle function before designing a tailored treatment plan. Results include reduced TMJ pain, improved breathing, and longterm daily stability of the bite.
Orthodontics Aligners
Our orthodontic aligner service offers clear, removable options like Candid aligners for aesthetic correction. We perform precise digital scans, design treatment paths, and monitor progress with regular checkins. Patients achieve straighter teeth, better occlusion, and enhanced confidence without the bulk of metal braces.
Vivos Myoaligner
The Vivos Myoaligner combines myofunctional therapy with orthodontic movement to target tongue and lip tie issues. We use EMG feedback to finetune muscle activity during treatment and ensure functional harmony. Clients notice reduced snoring, clearer breathing, and improved sleep quality as the bite stabilizes.
