The TMJ, Tongue Tie & Sleep Institute, located in Mumbai, India, is a pioneering institution dedicated to providing cutting-edge, minimally invasive treatments for a range of conditions including tongue-tie, sleep apnea, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Founded by the distinguished Dr. Ankita Shah, the institute has established itself as a leader in airway-focused dentistry, offering a holistic and preventive approach to patient care.
Dr. Ankita Shah, the driving force behind the institute, is a highly accomplished pediatric and preventive dentist with a Fellowship in MFS Orthodontics from Barcelona. Her commitment to advancing the field is underscored by her unique position as the first and only Indian Ambassador of The Breathe Institute in Los Angeles. This affiliation has provided her with invaluable experience, including the opportunity to observe and learn from Dr. Soroush Zaghi, a world-renowned ENT and sleep surgeon. Furthermore, Dr. Shah is the first and only OC-trained Indian dentist, having received training from Dr. Clayton Chan at the Occlusion Connections Institute in Las Vegas in Gneuromuscular dentistry (GNM) and orthopedic treatments for TMJ.
The institute's mission is to redefine dentistry by integrating expertise, advanced technology, and compassionate care. They are committed to moving beyond traditional dental practices to address the underlying causes of many health issues, recognizing the critical role of the jaw and airway in overall wellness. Their multidisciplinary team of specialists collaborates to provide comprehensive and integrated care, ensuring that each patient receives a personalized treatment plan tailored to their specific needs.
The institute specializes in a variety of services, with a primary focus on tongue-tie releases for infants, children, and adults. They utilize advanced techniques such as laser frenectomy and Dr. Zaghi's Functional Frenuloplasty to ensure optimal outcomes. This is often combined with virtual myofunctional therapy to address related issues and prevent reattachment. For sleep disorders, the institute offers solutions for sleep apnea, Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS), snoring, and mouth breathing. Their approach to TMJ disorders involves non-invasive treatments like myofunctional therapy, laser therapy, and fascial massages to provide long-lasting pain relief.
The team at the TMJ, Tongue Tie & Sleep Institute comprises a diverse group of highly qualified professionals. In addition to Dr. Shah, the team includes ENT surgeons, lactation consultants, sleep trainers, orthodontists, speech therapists, physiotherapists, and craniosacral therapists. This collaborative approach ensures that all aspects of a patient's condition are addressed, leading to more effective and lasting results. The institute is equipped with state-of-the-art technology to support its advanced treatment protocols, ensuring that patients receive the highest standard of care.
