Over 10 million Americans suffer from TMJ and most have no idea they have it.

Dr Cortés uses the latest state-of-the-art technology to diagnose patients suffering from TMJ Disorder. She is able to determine if your symptoms are the result of Malocclusion, and if so what your optimal jaw position is.

Steps of TMJ Diagnosis
Computerized jaw tracking instruments are used to record your jaw movements, your jaw’s resting position and path of closure. Electromyography is then used to determine the jaw's muscle function in both its stressed and relaxed states and the jaw-to-skull relationship. Sonography is finally used to record jaw joint sounds to detect any abnormalities.

Additionally, x-rays of the jaw may be taken to help evaluate the condition and positioning of the joint.
