Summary
This study looked at whether treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can also reduce pain and problems in the jaw and face, known as temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Researchers followed 40 adults with OSA who had not yet started treatment. They checked for TMD signs and symptoms before treatment and again after at least 18 months of sleep apnea therapy. The goal was to see if improving sleep could also improve jaw health.
