A clicking jaw, morning headache, worn teeth, poor sleep, or persistent snoring can sometimes all be connected to the way your jaw, muscles, bite, and upper airway function together.
Dr. Kritika Butta specialises in the intersection of jaw function, craniofacial pain, and sleep-disordered breathing — conditions that frequently share the same anatomical origin.
From clicking jaw and joint pain to locked jaw, facial pain, and bruxism — comprehensive neuromuscular TMD evaluation and conservative care.

Learn moreYour lower jaw, teeth, tongue, temporomandibular joints, and upper airway occupy the exact same anatomical region. When any part of this system becomes dysfunctional, the effects can manifest across an unexpectedly wide range of symptoms — from recurring headaches and ear pain to fragmented sleep, daytime fatigue, and worsening snoring.
This is the clinical intersection where dental medicine and sleep medicine converge. We evaluate all three in a single, comprehensive consultation.
