Do you experience chronic jaw pain, headaches, or difficulty chewing? You’re not alone. Millions of people are affected by temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, which can significantly impact daily life. In fact, studies show that TMJ disorders are the second most common musculoskeletal condition, following chronic low-back pain, and a major cause of pain and disability.
At Drs. Nicolas & Asp Centers, we understand how debilitating TMJ disorders can be. From chronic jaw pain to headaches, difficulty chewing, or even clicking and locking jaws, these issues disrupt your quality of life. That’s why our dedicated TMJ Clinic is designed to provide you with a comprehensive, patient-centric approach to diagnosis and treatment—all under one roof.
TMJ disorders refer to a group of conditions that affect the temporomandibular joints, which connect your lower jaw to your skull on each side of your face.
These joints, along with the surrounding muscles and ligaments, play a vital role in everyday activities like chewing, speaking, and yawning.
When these joints become inflamed, misaligned, or damaged, it can lead to a range of symptoms that can negatively affect our way of life.
Our team includes a highly-trained Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon, Specialist Prosthodontists, and a Physiotherapist, working together to deliver cutting-edge, evidence-based care.
We use state-of-the-art imaging and assessment protocols to accurately diagnose the root cause of your TMJ issues.
We offer a full spectrum of treatments, including non-surgical treatments, minimally-invasive procedures, and surgical options.
We address not just the symptoms but also contributing factors like bite alignment, sleep disorders, stress management, and lifestyle habits.
