Laser Therapies for TMJ and Sleep Disorders

Advanced laser therapies offer non-invasive relief for TMJ pain and sleep-related issues like snoring and mild sleep apnea. Each laser type provides unique benefits—from reducing inflammation and promoting healing to improving airway function for better sleep.

    • Enhances jaw range of motion and overall joint function as pain and swelling are reduced.

    • Quick, in-office procedure with minimal discomfort and virtually no downtime.
    • Produces noticeable snoring reduction after just 1–2 sessions, with long-lasting effects and minimal side effects.
