RICHMOND, VA

Welcome to Personalized Sleep and TMJ Care Near Richmond

If you're searching for answers to restless nights or ongoing jaw tension, you're not alone. Many people near Richmond deal with disrupted sleep and chronic facial discomfort without realizing these problems may be tied to sleep apnea or temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD). At Center For Sleep & TMJ, Dr. Brian Briesemeister helps patients find real solutions through non-invasive, custom-fit oral appliance therapy.

Snoring, morning headaches, jaw clicking, and waking up tired even after a full night of sleep are just a few signs that your body isn’t getting the rest or jaw support it needs. These issues can wear you down and affect every part of your day—from your mood and mental clarity to your ability to focus at work or enjoy time with loved ones. One patient shared they dismissed their jaw popping as stress from work—until it began interfering with eating and speaking comfortably. That's when they found help through oral appliance therapy.
