Dr. Bruce Vafa is a specialist in TMJ and maxillofacial pain who treats patients with jaw disorders, facial discomfort, and sleep‑related issues. The practice integrates advanced diagnostic tools such as CBCT imaging, MRI, bite analysis, and sleep studies to identify the root causes of TMJ dysfunction, orofacial pain, and obstructive sleep apnea. By evaluating the relationship between jaw alignment and airway patency, the clinic can develop comprehensive treatment plans that address both pain and breathing problems. Treatment options include non‑invasive oral appliance therapy that advances the lower jaw to open the airway while reducing joint stress. Custom bite guards and night guards are provided to protect teeth and alleviate bruxism‑related muscle tension. Jaw alignment correction techniques are employed to improve function and decrease clicking, popping, and limited movement. Botox injections are offered as a targeted method to reduce muscle spasms, clenching, and grinding associated with TMJ disorders. Patients suffering from chronic headaches receive specialized headache treatments that consider the contribution of TMJ and cervical tension. Neuropathic pain disorders are managed with personalized pain‑relief strategies that may include medication, physical therapy, and minimally invasive procedures. Sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea and insomnia are treated with customized oral appliances and, when necessary, referrals for CPAP or surgical options. The clinic’s holistic approach emphasizes the interconnection of jaw position, breathing patterns, and overall health. Each patient undergoes a thorough clinical examination to assess range of motion, pain patterns, and functional limitations. The diagnostic process is supported by advanced imaging that visualizes joint structures and airway dimensions. Treatment plans are tailored to the individual, reflecting the principle that every person’s anatomy and symptoms are unique. Non‑surgical interventions are prioritized to work with the body’s natural healing mechanisms. When conservative care is insufficient, the practice discusses advanced options such as orthognathic surgery or TMJ arthroscopy. Patient education is a core component, ensuring individuals understand the link between bruxism, sleep apnea, and TMJ degeneration. Ongoing support and follow‑up appointments help monitor progress and adjust appliances for optimal results. Clinical outcomes often include reduced snoring, fewer morning headaches, and diminished jaw pain within weeks of therapy. The integrated care model aims to improve sleep quality, alleviate facial pain, and restore normal jaw function. Reviews highlight the compassionate staff, painless procedures, and effective relief experienced by patients. By combining expertise in dentistry, sleep medicine, and pain management, the practice delivers comprehensive solutions for complex orofacial conditions.
