Polysomnography and sleep studies
When a disorder such as sleep apnea is suspected, a sleep study (polysomnography) is requested to confirm the diagnosis and define the most appropriate treatment for your case.
Symptoms that may indicate a sleep disorder
Loud and frequent snoring
Breathing pauses during sleep (observed by your partner or family)
Tiredness when you wake up, even if you have slept “enough” hours
Daytime sleepiness
Morning headache

Integrated pain-sleep treatment
Sleep bruxism and TMD are frequently related to sleep apnea. Therefore, Dr. Cresp's approach integrates both areas: when appropriate, mandibular advancement devices are indicated, which help both improve breathing during sleep and protect the temporomandibular joint.
