Four Steps to Better Sleep

Your Path to Sleep Apnea Treatment in
Westchester Starts Here

1. Take the Sleep Apnea Quiz

Begin with our quick, confidential quiz to identify common sleep apnea symptoms like snoring, fatigue, and interrupted breathing. It's a simple first step toward better sleep and improved overall health.

2. Complete an At-Home Sleep Test

If your results indicate risk, we'll arrange a convenient at-home sleep test. This comfortable study allows us to accurately evaluate your breathing and sleep patterns from the comfort of your own bed.

3. Schedule a Consultation

Meet with Dr. Mejia to review your results and discuss your symptoms and goals. She'll evaluate your airway, jaw, and bite to determine the root cause of your sleep concerns.

4. Start Your Personalized Treatment Plan

Once diagnosed, we'll create a custom oral appliance therapy plan designed to improve airflow, reduce snoring, and support deeper, more restorative sleep.

Risk Factors of Untreated Sleep Apnea

  • Disrupted Sleep – Repeated pauses in breathing keep your body from entering deep, restorative sleep, often leaving you feeling unrested and drained each morning.
  • Lower Energy Levels – Ongoing fatigue, morning headaches, and trouble focusing can start to interfere with your daily routine and overall quality of life.
  • Long-Term Health Risks – Without treatment, sleep apnea has been linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular conditions, including heart disease and stroke.

Live Pain-Free In Westchester With TMJ Treatment

TMJ disorder is a jaw joint misalignment that causes pain, inflammation, sore muscles, and pinched nerves. TMJ’s symptoms can radiate through your whole body as headaches, migraines, facial pain, neck and back pain, ear aches, dizziness, and tingly fingers. At Westchester TMJ & Sleep, we understand how these symptoms affect your quality of life. We look for the root cause of your TMJ and treat it from there instead of merely treating the symptoms. If you’re looking for a permanent TMJ solution, Dr. Wanda Mejia can help.

Why do my ears hurt?

Ear pain is a symptom of TMJ disorder. Your jaw joint connects to your skull below your ears and can pull on the ligaments. This can result in pain, hearing loss, ear ringing, ear congestion, and dizziness.

Phase two TMJ treatment is a permanent solution to TMJ disorder. After finding your jaw’s correct position and ensuring you’ll be symptom-free using an orthotic, we’ll adjust your dentition to keep your jaw in the right spot. This could include dental implants, dental crowns, and other restorative dental treatments. After treatment, you don’t need to worry about TMJ disorder anymore.

Transform Your Sleep. Transform Your Life.

Sleep apnea is a serious medical condition that often goes overlooked because its symptoms morning headaches, daytime fatigue, poor concentration, and restless sleep can mimic many other health issues. At Westchester TMJ & Sleep Wellness, we specialize in identifying and treating sleep apnea with proven, effective solutions that fit your lifestyle. If you suspect you may have sleep apnea, start with a sleep test and let our expert team guide you toward personalized treatment that restores deeper sleep, improves daily performance, and protects long-term health.

What is Oral Appliance Therapy?

Oral appliance therapy is an alternative treatment to CPAP for obstructive sleep apnea. Your Westchester sleep apnea dentist will fit you with a custom orthotic that you wear during sleep. It’ll move your jaw slightly forward to make more room in your airway.

This is a tricky question because the answer is “not always.” Snoring is the sound of air rushing through your partially obstructed airway. It’s a sign of sleep-disordered breathing, but it may not mean sleep apnea—yet. However, if your snoring is loud enough to awaken you or your partner, you may want to get checked for sleep apnea.
