“Every day we meet patients who feel hopeless, who have been in pain for years. I love helping them get their lives back.” Dr. Jeffrey Brown
As a specialist in chronic pain and sleep problems, Dr. Jeffrey Brown is not your typical dentist and Sleep & TMJ Therapy is not your typical dental office. “Our number one goal is getting to the source of our patients’ discomfort, so we limit our practice to TMJ and sleep apnea. And we take patient care to a whole-new concierge level.”
“Chronic pain can drastically affect personality and quality of life,” says Dr. Brown. “Every day we meet patients who feel hopeless. They’ve been in pain for years, have seen doctor after doctor but are still searching for answers.”
Dr. Brown and his team provide non-surgical treatments for long-term pain from TMJ, caused by slipped discs in the jaw joint and cranial distortions. These conditions are treated using appliance therapy that takes the pressure off joints and allows discs to return to their correct positions. TMJ, short for Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction, can also cause popping, clicking, ringing in the ears, headaches, and even neck and back pain.
For sleep apnea, Dr. Brown uses customized dental appliances that promote healthier breathing by supporting the jaw and opening the airway. This reduces symptoms such as snoring, interrupted breathing, fatigue, irritability and headaches.
“I love helping my patients get their lives back,” says Dr. Brown. A graduate of the Georgetown Dental School and a fellow of the American Academy of Craniofacial Pain, Dr. Brown is a sought-after international speaker for TMJ and sleep apnea therapies.
