While design plays a pivotal role, imagine if your mouthguard offered more than just protection. What if it could elevate your performance? We believe in integrating PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT into our mouthguards, safeguarding oral tissues while boosting your abilities.ed.
The widely acknowledged gold standard for obstructive sleep apnea treatment remains the CPAP (Continuous Positive Air Pressure) device. This device operates by delivering air pressure via a nasal/oral mask, effectively preventing blockages caused by the tongue and other airway obstructions during sleep.
Orthodontic appliances play a pivotal role in augmenting airway growth, especially in children up to approximately 12 years old, when bone maturity restricts further growth. However, traditional methods like fixed braces primarily focus on moving teeth and lack the capability to expand the airway.
While braces facilitate adult orthodontic expansion, their efficacy is constrained by the available bundle bone within the teeth sockets. Typically, even with optimal braces, posterior teeth may only achieve approximately 1.5 to 2 mm expansion per side. For individuals with a narrow upper jaw and a posteriorly positioned lower jaw, this expansion might prove insufficient.

Jaw Expansion ➡
Jaw lock, medically termed Trismus, occurs when the jaw joint experiences limited movement, hindering everyday activities like eating, speaking, and oral hygiene. At The Right Bite, we specialize in treating Trismus, ensuring effective and prompt care for this condition.
The established surgical treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the Maxillo-mandibular advancement surgery (MMA). While effective for severe cases (AHI greater than 50), this procedure, aimed at advancing the jaws, might result in facial changes and is highly invasive. However, it lacks comprehensive 3D expansion, particularly in the upper jaw.
Bruxism, commonly used to describe these habits, encompasses two distinct actions: clenching and grinding. Grinding is the more recognizable term, marked by audible noises when the upper and lower teeth forcefully rub against each other in both vertical and lateral directions. Often observed in children, grinding may raise concerns related to oral health, yet it’s essential to first ensure airway patency before drawing conclusions.
TMJ ➡
Orthodontists and ENT specialists play a pivotal role in not only treating Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) but also addressing their underlying causes, ensuring comprehensive care and long-term relief.
Experiencing ear pressure (feeling stuffy, blocked, or itchy) or ear pain (otalgia – either dull or sharp) can sometimes be linked to TMJ (temporomandibular joint) dysfunction, a factor not commonly explored for these issues. Patients often seek advice from an ENT specialist when experiencing such symptoms.
TMJ disorders (TMD) stem from various factors, with dental occlusion and jaw positioning holding significant importance in TMJ health. The alignment of upper and lower teeth, both at rest and during function, plays a crucial role in determining the condition of the TMJ and surrounding muscles.
Bruxism, comprising both clenching and grinding, involves detrimental teeth-to-teeth contact that can impact the muscles of the head, neck, and the TMJ.
The TMJ (temporomandibular joint) is an extraordinary joint that bears stress from various regions of the body, including the cranium, facial muscles, and the cervical complex.
Dr. Raj: When I initiated my TMJ practice two decades ago, I noticed that 40% of my patients were experiencing recurring pain, despite numerous neuromuscular orthotics and adjustments.
The airway, a vital passage for oxygen delivery from nose and mouth to the lungs, can face obstruction behind the tongue during sleep. At The Right Bite, we utilize advanced diagnostics like CBCT Airway Volumetry to assess airway health.
The TMJ (temporomandibular joint) plays a crucial role in the body’s postural chain due to its extensive connections with muscles, ligaments, tendons, and an important connective tissue called fascia.
Contrary to conventional beliefs, the foundation of the body’s postural alignment starts from a higher position—the TMJ (temporomandibular joint).
TMD ➡
Accurate diagnosis forms the cornerstone of effective treatment, especially concerning complex conditions like Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMJ) and Cranio-Cervical-Mandibular Disorders (CCMD). These disorders manifest diverse symptoms spanning from earaches, dizziness, and headaches to tingling fingers and leg cramps, making them intricate to pinpoint.
Preventing Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) is not only possible but essential, especially when considering it as an acquired condition that can be identified and treated from an early age, even at birth.
The realm of Temporo Mandibular Joint Disorders (TMD) is vast, and it’s not unusual to find various physio-pathologies and diverse schools of thought on the internet, leading to confusion among patients seeking information. Over my 20 years of experience in TMJ/Sleep practice, 90% of patients have expressed concerns about this confusing array of information.
A sleep study, also known as polysomnography, is a crucial diagnostic tool used to assess various sleep disorders and their underlying causes. If you’re experiencing persistent sleep-related issues or suspect you have a sleep disorder, undergoing a sleep study can provide invaluable insights into your sleep patterns and overall health.
Sleep ➡
Insomnia, a common sleep disorder, manifests in various forms, affecting the quality and duration of sleep. If you often struggle to fall asleep, stay asleep, or wake up too early and find it challenging to resume sleep, you might be experiencing insomnia.
“Good night dear!” – a familiar phrase that signals the end of the day and the anticipation of a refreshing start. But what if your nights are fraught with disturbances? Imagine dealing with loud snoring, restless legs, and cramps, making sleep a dreaded experience. If this sounds familiar, you might be grappling with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a critical sleep disorder characterized by repetitive pauses in breathing during sleep. Among various types of sleep apnea, OSA stands out as the most prevalent, primarily affecting individuals whose throat muscles relax excessively, obstructing the airway during sleep.
