Oral-Facial Pain and Sleep
Assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of the temporomandibular joint, facial muscles, and mechanisms of sleep.
About the specialty Facial Pain and Sleep
Orofacial pain, such as frequent headaches, noise or tension in the jaw, and sleep disorders are often interconnected and associated with changes in the temporomandibular joint, facial muscle function, and sleep mechanisms.
The Orofacial Pain and Sleep Consultation at MALO CLINIC was created to assess and treat these conditions in an integrated manner based on scientific evidence, addressing a common and underdiagnosed problem that significantly affects quality of life.
This consultation is intended for complex clinical situations such as temporomandibular dysfunction, bruxism, chronic facial pain, and sleep-related respiratory disorders, including obstructive apnea.

Benefits of Orofacial Pain and Sleep Consultation
Accurate Diagnosis
Many patients live for years with symptoms they do not associate with the jaw, dental occlusion, or sleep, such as headaches, neck tension, fatigue when chewing, the sensation of a "blocked ear", teeth grinding, or daytime drowsiness. The consultation allows for the identification of patterns and the correlation of these signs with muscular, joint, or respiratory alterations.
Multidisciplinary Approach
The coordination between different areas of health allows treatment not to be limited to immediate relief, but to promote complete and sustainable functional recovery.
Adapted Treatment Plan
Each patient receives a personalized treatment plan, tailored to their anatomical particularities, habits, routine, and medical history. MALO CLINIC always focuses on sustainable, safe, and science-based solutions.
At MALO CLINIC, your oral health is our priority.
