Detailed Introduction

The Headache & TMJ Center of New Jersey is a specialized clinic located in West Orange, New Jersey, dedicated to the diagnosis and non-surgical treatment of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, as well as associated headaches, migraines, tinnitus, and neck pain. The clinic is led by a team of experienced doctors, including Dr. Ivan and Dr. Allan Stein, who have over two decades of experience in the field. Dr. Ivan Stein is a pioneer in high-tech TMJ care and a creator of advanced oral appliances, while Dr. Allan Stein is a Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine and an expert in craniofacial pain. The center emphasizes a comprehensive and personalized approach to care, using state-of-the-art diagnostic technology like Joint Vibration Analysis and EMG to accurately identify the underlying cause of a patient's symptoms. This meticulous evaluation process allows them to create individualized treatment plans that address muscle and joint imbalances in the jaw. Treatment options at the clinic are varied and non-invasive, designed to provide lasting relief from painful symptoms. These include: Orthotic Therapy: Custom-fitted oral appliances, or bite guards, are used to realign the jaw and alleviate pressure. Physical Modalities: The center offers therapies such as ultrasound, microcurrent, and low-level laser therapy to reduce inflammation, relax muscles, and accelerate healing. Injection Therapy: The doctors utilize Botox injections to temporarily relax jaw muscles and trigger point injections with local anesthetic to dull discomfort. They also offer prolotherapy, a homeopathic treatment that stimulates the body's natural healing processes. TruDenta System: The clinic is a proponent of the TruDenta system, which involves a progressive program of rehabilitation and physical therapy for damaged joints and stressed musculature. The center's philosophy is rooted in a patient-centric approach, aiming to not only relieve pain but also to restore proper jaw function and improve the patient's overall well-being. They serve patients in West Orange and the surrounding areas, including Short Hills and Livingston, NJ.

Seeing Dr. Stein has truly been life-changing. I came in with constant TMJ pain and real fear about my ability to speak or even eat in the future. After following the treatment protocol, I’ve experienced a complete 180—my pain and migraines are now rare and manageable.

I sleep better, I’m more present with my family and friends, and I’m more productive at work. I’m forever grateful for the referral to Dr. Stein and the care I received.

Seemed good at the consultation appointment, but when I called for the follow up to start treatment they wouldn’t give me an invoice of the cost of treatment and said I had to pay in full in order to get my follow up appointment which I didn’t feel comfortable doing without seeing an invoice or at least a description of treatment. I also think it’s weird they didn’t seem to offer a payment plan asking someone to put down over 4k at ones can be a lot for some people.

Dr. Stein and his team have changed my life. I've had horrible TMJ since I was 15 and nothing seemed to help. I felt desperate and hopeless for the longest time. Last May I went to Dr Stein's office, and got some scans done. He told me my jaw discs were dislocated on both sides. I'll admit that at first I was a little skeptical because nothing else has worked, and because the treatment seemed costly.

However, a year later and my life has completely changed. It took a little while to see a difference, but after using the mouth guard and seeing a PT referred by Stein, almost all pain is gone. If your condition is like mine and it takes time to see a difference, stick with it!! I promise it's worth it. Yes the treatment was pricy, but I 100% would do it again. My quality of life has completely changed. Thank you Dr Stein!!!

I have no words to express my immense gratitude to Dr. Allan Stein and his staff for returning my smile again. I can chew again and enjoy life. TMJ has been so difficult, but I'm blessed to have been in great hands. The journey of about a year has finally got me here. I recommend this office 100% for their kindness and professionalism.
