If you’re looking for real answers to nightly snoring, constant jaw discomfort, or disrupted sleep, you're far from alone. Many people near Portsmouth struggle with these issues every day without knowing that they may be connected. At Center For Sleep & TMJ, we help pinpoint the root cause and provide focused relief through customized oral appliance therapy, led by Dr. Brian Briesemeister.
We understand how much disrupted rest can affect your daily life. Whether you're tired of waking up groggy or dealing with headaches and jaw pain in the morning, you're in the right place to get support. Our care is centered around long-term comfort, practical solutions, and an approachable path forward that puts your needs first.
At Center For Sleep & TMJ, we don’t offer one-size-fits-all answers. Dr. Brian Briesemeister designs each treatment plan around your situation and symptoms. Whether you're dealing with sleep apnea, jaw tension, or both, the oral appliances we use are made specifically to address your needs without disrupting your lifestyle.
Oral appliances are small, comfortable devices worn in the mouth during sleep. They help reposition the jaw to promote better airflow or reduce pressure on the joint, depending on your diagnosis. Unlike bulky or invasive tools, these appliances are:
Custom-fabricated to fit your smile
Easy to wear nightly without discomfort
Low-maintenance and travel ready
Designed to work alongside your natural breathing patterns
Dr. Brian Briesemeister will walk you through how the device fits, how to keep it clean, and what to expect as your body begins to adjust. Most patients find this approach more manageable than what they may have tried in the past.
Dr. Brian Briesemeister brings experience, patience, and clear communication to every visit. Our patients near Portsmouth often say they're tired of vague answers or rushed appointments. That’s not what we do here. From your first visit, you'll notice how much attention is given to the small details that make a big difference in your comfort and sleep quality.
Our practice uses modern tools and diagnostic methods tailored for oral appliance therapy. Nothing complicated, just focused care that gets to the point. One example: A patient came to us after years of jaw clicking and stiffness that interfered with eating and sleeping. Within weeks of using a custom-made oral appliance designed by Dr. Brian Briesemeister, their jaw pain eased, and they finally had uninterrupted rest.
That kind of practical transformation is what we aim for. Not quick fixes, but lasting comfort through thoughtful care.
Recognizing the signs early can make a big difference. Many individuals live with disrupted sleep or jaw discomfort for years, assuming it's unrelated or simply something to put up with. But when left unaddressed, these symptoms can affect daily performance, relationships, and overall health.
Loud snoring or gasping sounds during sleep
Frequent morning headaches
Jaw clicking, popping, or stiffness
Chronic daytime fatigue
Teeth grinding or clenching during sleep
Neck or facial muscle tension
If one or more of these sound familiar, it’s worth looking into. These signs often point to underlying issues that oral appliance therapy can help manage. Dr. Brian Briesemeister focuses on these specific concerns, taking the time to understand what you're experiencing so he can recommend a practical solution.
Trust comes from feeling heard, understood, and never rushed. Dr. Brian Briesemeister spends time getting to know your symptoms, your lifestyle, and your concerns about treatment. It's not about finding the fastest fix. It's about creating something that actually works.
Location matters, too. With the Center For Sleep & TMJ conveniently located near Portsmouth, you don’t have to travel far to find answers. That ease of access can be the difference between continuing to put off care or taking the first step.
The clinic setting is low-pressure and relaxed, which makes each visit something people feel safe returning to. You aren’t just a chart or a case file here. It’s all about what works for you in real life—non-invasive, practical care with real results.
