What is TMJ?

A TMJ disorder refers to the temporomandibular joint and is also referred to as TMD. The temporomandibular joint connects the lower jaw to the base of your skull. The joint has a section of cartilage that acts as a cushion between the skull and the jaw and helps the jaw to move as it should when you eat and speak. In approximately 16% of the population this disc can become displaced, damaged or injured which will lead to pain and discomfort in this vital joint.

What is sleep apnea?

We are pleased to provide sleep apnea treatment in Billings, Montana. Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that causes repeated interruptions in your breathing, oftentimes causing patients to momentarily stop breathing completely. These interruptions, also known as apneas and hypopneas, are caused by the partial or complete collapse of the airway while you are sleeping. These apneas and hypopneas often cause chronic drowsiness, headaches and irritability. Sleep apnea has also been shown to contribute to cardiovascular issues. While sleep apnea is common it is potentially serious, especially without the proper treatment. Dr. Luderitz offers various treatments to treat sleep apnea safely, comfortably and effectively.
