I told my dentist that I was having severe jaw pain especially when I ate or opened my mouth wide. He told me to visit Dr. Urbanek. When i received the splint I did not think that it would help. After the first 6 weeks I noticed 50% of my pain was gone. I thought that I would still just have the little bit of pain left. One day it dawned on me that I had not had any jaw pain in over 2 months. I was skeptical but I hate to think what my jaw pain would be like if I had not tried the splint.

I began experiencing earaches, neck pain, headaches and shoulder pain 6-8 months ago. The smallest movements (yawning, chewing, etc.) would cause pain. I have a son with special needs and lifting him for 32 years has caused several issues. I destroyed 3 temporary bridges from excessive grinding of my teeth. Other mouth guards that I have tried in the past haven't touched my symptoms including a custom made one. I've had Dr. Urbanek's Splint for about 3 months and I have seen 90% improvement!

After about 10 years of major chronic pain due to TMJ i can now say that I am living a normal life. There were many many times I was ready to end my life because the pain was SO bad. I lived in my bed and was unable to do the smallest things. After 6 years of wearing my TMJ device made by Dr. Urbanke and after one successful surgery I now have a job and am living a normal life, which I never thought I would be able to do. I cannot say Thank You enough to Dr. Urbanke and his staff!

I was first diagnosed with a TMJ disorder several years ago and was told my only option was three year process that would be thousands of dollars. At this time I was a recent college graduate and was forced to forego this expensive and invasive treatment and just deal with my TMJ pain. About five months ago my dental hygienist referred me to Dr. Urbanek and now after only four months of treatment, I am 90% pain free. This device has changed my life and would recommend it to anyone!

Hi, my name is Hailey F. and I'm 15 years old. i started getting my symptoms when i was 14 but had bad migraines 5 years before. I went to my dentist and got told i have TMJ because i kept getting a locked jaw, ringing in ears, headaches, neck pain, and shoulder pain. I then found Doctor Urbanek and made an appointment and he made it clear i did have TMJ. From there i got a TMJ splint that helps tremendously with my pain and symptoms. After 4 months of having the splint i am 95% pain free!

Gone are the days of jaw and ear pain due to grinding during the day and overnight. I was amazed at the difference in symptoms in just the first month or two, and now am working on the one remaining symptom - ringing in the ears. I am hopeful in the next few months, all of my TMJ symptoms will be eliminated for good!

I've been a sufferer of TMJ for 15 years and counting. While I still experience some stiffness during the night, my symptoms have improved.

Before I came to see Dr. Urbanek, I was having terrible shoulder and jaw pain. My shoulder would ache so badly that I would have to stop moving altogether. After just 3 weeks of wearing my TMJ splint, my pain has disappeared almost completely. I never thought that my pain would ever go away, and I am so excited that I can go on with my life without having to worry about when my jaw or shoulder was going to start hurting again.

I was having headaches, jaw pain, shoulder pain, and numbness in my fingers for over six years. I have gone to multiple doctors about it and nothing ever fixed it. It wasn't until I went to a ENT who told me I may have issues with TMJ. The ENT doctor sent me to Dr. Urbanek. Dr. Urbanek met with me and went over a list of symptoms with me and I had just about every one of them. I got a splint and wore it every day for two months. I am now free of the pain. I highly recommend it to anyone!

I've experienced chronic ear pain for 30 years. Although, I do have a history of sinus and ear infections, my ear pain began to worsen to the point of not being able to sleep at night. I would wake up with pain so bad that it affected my hearing. I experienced ringing in my ears. Eventually, I found a new ENT who sent me to Dr. Urbanek. After three months my symptoms are 95% alleviated. I cannot say enough about his jaw splint and what it has done for the quality of my life.

i have had over 30 yrs. of headache and frequent earaches which have gotten much more frequent and painful. after 3 weeks of use of the splint have had a 90 percent decrease of symptoms. now a very happy lady.

After I had my braces removed it became hard for me to open my mouth wide. It was hard for me to eat certain foods and I had ear problems as well. I went 2 years with pushing the problem off before I decided to find treatment. After wearing the device for 2 months I was able to open wide and eat the foods I wanted to eat. Thank you!

This was my first surgery ever and before I came for my surgery and I didn't know what he was going to do, I was a little scared or nervous about it. But last week when I came and he explained what he was going to do, I felt a lot better. He explained it so well and I automatically knew it was going to be great. He did such a good job. They all did. I can't thank you enough for taking care of me and taking time for me:)

Had I known how much better I would have felt after being treated for my TMJ symptoms, I would have seek treatment a lot sooner. It got so bad it hurt to open my ,mouth to sing in church and I love to sing, but it would hurt to open my jaw to wide. I couldn't open my mouth as wide as I needed to. Also, the headaches, neck pain and shoulder pain went away. I can't believe what a difference it made to be pain free. Very quickly I noticed a difference. I slept better too.

Until I came in to get my wisdom teeth taken out, I had no idea what TMJ was or what it entailed. When i described to him my symptoms he knew immediately how to help. I am so glad he knew what to look for and I feel so much better!

I came to Dr. Urbanek because I had been involved in a physical altercation which resulted in my orbital socket being fractured in multiple places and left the left side of my face, the tip of my nose, the left side of my mouth and jaw numb and tingling. Dr Urbanek explained he felt the reason for the numbness was pressure on a nerve under my eye and it would require a delicate surgery. I had the surgery the second week of June this year, all went well and I am pleased with the entire staff!

I have had TMJ issues (headaches, jaw pain and neck pain) for at least 25 years. I was referred to Dr. Urbanek by my dentist and after wearing the TMJ device for several weeks I am free from all the headaches and jaw pain. Dr. Urbanek and his staff are wonderful!

So far so good! Headaches and jaw pain have improved 95% in the last 2 months.

When i first came i was having a lot of pain and discomfort such as headaches and ear pain. I could not open my mouth all the way. Since I started wearing the tmj splint, my symptoms have eased up about 90%

I have struggled with TMJ pain for over 20 years, using a variety of splints, guards and medications. Dr. Urbanek's splint provided significant improvement and relief to the pain not available with other designs.

The regular follow-up appointments as part of the treatment have been helpful and appreciated in discussing changes and questions.
