    Frequently Asked Questions About Day/Night Appliances in Utah

    Q: What is a day and night appliance?

    A: A day and night appliance is a custom-made oral device designed to support proper jaw alignment and relieve stress on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Worn both during the day and at night, these appliances help minimize clenching, grinding, and tension, reducing facial pain and improving overall jaw function.

    Q: How does a day night appliance for sleep apnea work?

    A: A day night appliance for sleep apnea gently repositions the lower jaw and tongue to keep the airway open during sleep. This allows for easier breathing, reduces snoring, and can improve sleep quality. At the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of Utah, our appliances are customized to your exact bite and airway needs, providing a comfortable, effective alternative to CPAP therapy.

    Q: What’s the difference between a night guard appliance and a TMJ night appliance?

    A: A standard night guard appliance protects your teeth from grinding or clenching but doesn’t correct underlying jaw issues. A TMJ night appliance, on the other hand, is designed to relax and realign the jaw, targeting the source of TMJ-related pain and dysfunction. Our team evaluates your specific symptoms to determine which type of appliance will give you the most relief.

    Q: Do I need to wear my appliance during the day too?

    A: In many cases, yes. For patients with chronic TMJ pain or airway issues, wearing a day and night appliance provides continuous support and stability, allowing the muscles and joints to heal properly. Your provider will guide you on when and how to wear each appliance for the best long-term results.
