CPAP, how does it work with jaw clenchers?
Question:
Friends, I have TMJ, but I’m thinking about getting a CPAP because of a sleep disorder. Will I have problems?
Response:
Charles, I’ve had TMJ for 25 years. I wear a nightguard every night. No problem at all from this when I started CPAP 3 months ago. Because I’ve changed the way I lie on my pillow some and have been tensing muscles, the dentist did some modification (build-up) on my nightguard when I went in this week. No problems with mouth leaks. Hope this helps.

Response:
I’ve heard that cpap may actually relieve your problem, but you won’t know until you try it.
