Testing & imaging
How we find the real cause
Good treatment starts with a clear diagnosis. Here's how testing works for sleep and for jaw pain — and where your physician fits in.
Testing & imaging
Answers first, then relief
The right diagnosis is the foundation of comfortable, lasting care — for both sleep and jaw pain.
Home sleep testing
For suspected sleep apnea, most patients can complete a convenient home sleep test — a small device you wear for a night or two in your own bed. The results are interpreted by a board-certified physician, who makes the diagnosis. Some cases call for an in-lab study; we'll guide you to the right one.
The physician's role
A dentist cannot diagnose obstructive sleep apnea or prescribe the appliance on their own — this is true in every state. A medical provider must diagnose OSA from a sleep test first. Amoré screens you, helps coordinate the test and diagnosis, and provides the custom appliance afterward, following you alongside your physician.
Jaw & bite evaluation
For TMJ, Dr. Delgado evaluates your jaw joints, muscles, and bite, using digital scans or imaging where helpful. TMJ is dentistry end to end, so this diagnosis and the treatment that follows are handled directly by Dr. Delgado.
Follow-up testing
After a sleep appliance is fitted and adjusted, your physician may confirm it's working with repeat sleep testing. Ongoing follow-up with both your physician and Dr. Delgado helps keep results durable.
