Snoring

Snoring caused by temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction is a relatively common, yet underdiagnosed phenomenon. It occurs when the jaw is misaligned and causes a narrowing of the airways which leads to snoring as air passes through. The snoring associated with TMJ disorder can be especially loud when lying on the back and usually involves respiratory difficulty due to the constricted airway. It is important to recognize this type of snoring so that it can be treated appropriately, particularly since it typically worsens when left untreated and can lead to further complications.
