Center for TMJ & Sleep Disorders

Our TMJ treatment addresses temporomandibular joint disorders through non-invasive methods. Using 3D imaging and custom oral appliances, we realign jaw positioning to alleviate chronic pain, headaches, and mobility issues. Patients experience improved jaw function and reduced symptoms like clicking or locking. This therapy benefits individuals suffering from teeth grinding, malocclusion, or trauma-related jaw pain.

We provide oral appliance therapy for obstructive sleep apnea as a comfortable alternative to CPAP machines. Custom-fitted devices reposition the jaw to maintain open airways during sleep. This treatment effectively reduces snoring, improves oxygen levels, and enhances sleep quality. Patients report fewer daytime fatigue symptoms and better overall health outcomes.

Our orthodontic solutions focus on correcting bite issues and airway obstructions. Phase I and II treatments use functional appliances and braces to optimize jaw development and tooth positioning. This approach addresses breathing difficulties, speech impediments, and facial pain while creating lasting structural improvements for both children and adults.

We employ non-invasive physical medicine techniques including cold laser therapy and ultrasound to treat craniofacial pain. These modalities reduce inflammation, promote tissue healing, and alleviate muscle tension associated with TMJ disorders. Combined with dental treatments, they provide comprehensive relief for chronic pain sufferers.

Our 3D-printed dental appliances offer precise solutions for sleep apnea, TMJ disorders, and orthodontic correction. Digital scanning ensures perfect fit while advanced materials provide comfort and durability. These customized devices deliver effective treatment outcomes for patients seeking non-surgical alternatives to traditional therapies.

She combines advanced dental technology with personalized care to address complex orofacial pain cases. Her patient-centered approach focuses on non-surgical solutions for lasting relief.

We offer non-surgical solutions including custom oral appliances, physical therapy modalities, and bite adjustment techniques using advanced 3D imaging for precise diagnosis and treatment.

Yes, we provide early orthodontic intervention for children with jaw development issues, breathing disorders, and bite problems using age-appropriate functional appliances.

We create personalized plans combining dental evaluation, airway analysis, and patient-specific symptoms to address both immediate concerns and long-term structural health.

We accept major dental insurance plans and work with medical insurance for sleep apnea treatments. Our staff assists with claims submission and coverage verification.

My husband made an appointment for a sleep study. Was told when making the appointment that a sleep study would be $150 however, that is not the case. It was a $150 to walk in and get "examined". To get a sleep study, it would be almost, if not more, $400. On top of that, the cost of anything you would need based on your results is insanely expensive. If you are looking for a sleep study, call a doctor that'll take your health insurance and save yourself some money because this place is highway robbery.

For the business itself, please make your pricing much more clearer when you have a new patient calling to make an appointment. It's nice for that person to know before walking in the door that your fee only covers the in office examination and not the actual sleep study. ***THIS REVIEW IS DONE BY THE WIFE OF THE PATIENT WHO WAS MISLEAD BY THE OFFICE STAFF THAT HE SPOKE TO-PER MY HUSBAND'S WORDS. AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR STATING THE RESPONSE BELOW FOR ALL THE VIEWERS OF MY REVIEW LEFT FOR MY HUSBAND*** Thank you,

We are in total amazement to experience relief and actually see and feel improvement from Dr. Balatgek and her extraordinary team! The entire office is so kind, personable, positive and so very knowledgeable on TMJ and more. My child is improving and as a parent I can't put into words the relief and hope this brings to us! I am so inspired by the work this team does and the difference they make in people's lives! They truly care and everything they do reveals that. Feeling so grateful and blessed! God is so good how He led us to her!

I had no hope for my jaw pain before finding this business. The jaw appliance that Dr. Tammy made for me has relieved almost 100% of my pain and tension which in turn increased my quality of life. My regular doctor tried prescribing medication and then suggested surgery as the next step. I was not open to that and I'm so glad this natural route was available to me! Also everyone who works here is very pleasant. Highly recommend.

What a wonderful, pleasant, KNOWLEDGEABLE staff! It was a whole new experience talking to people about my TMJ who actually understood how much pain I am in. Had a great first visit with a lot of tips and a temporary (only $28) mouth guard; I am going to figure out a way to afford the next step (digitally molded guard), and I will be sure to report back. But for now, a really caring staff who were thorough and genuinely interested in hearing what your issues are. Special shoutouts to Lynn, Sharon, and Dr. Tammy.

After many visits to many different Doctors. I was passed off to see Dr. Balatgek. I was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea. I can't tolerate cpap. came to this office to explore possibly getting an "oral appliance.". I repeatedly explained to the Doctor.that I have never been diagnosed with TMJ by three oral surgeons but without listening, she insisted that I have TMJ. She jumps to the 4500 dollar oral appliance package.

I get a little nervous when cash only practices push one treatment.namely.an oral appliance they make and charge astronomical amounts for a thin piece of plastic that may not work. I brought up many other issues that she glossed over. Overall. I walked out of there no closer to a solution, with a feeling I was not listened to and my wallet 150 dollars lighter.

Dr Tammy confirmed my suspicion that my TMJ was connected to my Meniere's Diseases, - vertigo, hearing loss and Tinnitus. I'm currently waiting for my mouth piece to be made and will post another review once I've started wearing it. If this treatment resolves my issues. It'll be with every penny! The whole staff was very kind, compassionate and professional. An excellent and hopeful experience! I'm so frustrated that the doctors and ENT specialists I went to previously never told me about the potential that my jaw was causing my problems.
