Why Choose a Provider Trained by the American Academy of Craniofacial Pain?

When you live with jaw pain, headaches, facial discomfort, sleep apnea, or problems with chewing or speaking, you deserve care from a professional who understands the complex relationship between the jaw, muscles, nerves, airway, and overall health. Providers trained through the American Academy of Craniofacial Pain (AACP) are uniquely qualified to diagnose and treat these conditions using advanced, evidence-based methods that go beyond traditional dentistry and medicine.

Specialized Expertise

AACP-trained clinicians receive extensive post-graduate education in:

TMJ disorders and facial pain conditions
Headaches related to the jaw and cervical spine
Oral appliance therapy for sleep apnea and snoring
Neuromuscular and functional jaw assessment
Laser therapy and regenerative approaches to reduce inflammation and support healing
Comprehensive diagnostic technologies including EMG, 3D jaw tracking, T-Scan, CBCT, and airway evaluations

This specialized training prepares providers to find the root cause of symptoms rather than simply treating them temporarily.

Whole-Patient, Collaborative Care

AACP providers work closely with medical and dental specialists—including physical therapists, ENTs, sleep physicians, neurologists, and orthodontists—to ensure an integrated treatment plan. Patients benefit from a coordinated, team-based approach focused on restoring comfort, function, and long-term health.

Compassion-Driven, Evidence-Based Treatment

Care is personalized. AACP clinicians take time to listen, evaluate, and design treatment plans that fit your unique needs and goals. The focus is always on conservative, non-surgical solutions whenever possible.

Better Outcomes and Better Quality of Life

Patients working with AACP-trained specialists often experience:

• Reduced jaw and facial pain
  Fewer headaches and migraines
  Improved breathing and sleep quality
  Healthier jaw function and bite stability
  Relief from neck and shoulder tension
  Increased energy and daily comfort

Your Health, Comfort, and Function Matter

Choosing an AACP-trained provider means choosing a professional committed to excellence, advanced clinical training, and compassionate patient-centered care. You don’t have to live with chronic pain or disrupted sleep—effective solutions exist, and our providers are here to help you find them
