Sleep appliances and joint pain

Drs. Rapoport and Lasry can help you diagnose and treat a variety of conditions relating to jaw position and function.

Sleep appliances such as a nightguard can be fabricated to help improve symptoms of:

Snoring
Sleep Apnea
Grinding
Joint pain
Myofacial pain

We work with a team of ear nose and throat (ENT) doctors to help diagnose and treat obstructive sleep apnea. We can make you a sleep apnea appliance upon the request of your doctor or we would be happy to refer you to an ENT physician if a diagnosis of sleep apnea is suspected.

Nightguards can be fabricated to protect the teeth from nocturnal parafunctional habits (night grinding), as well as to treat oro-facial pain as a result of these habits.

With the help of our 3D x-ray, temperomandibular joint (TMJ) malformations or pathology can be diagnosed and an appropriate referral made.
