I came into the office seeking help with jaw pain so severe that I was suffering with severe headaches, pain inside my left ear, neck and shoulder pain, and the inability to open my mouth to chew without pain. Three weeks later, those symptoms are all being kept at bay when I faithfully wear the Urbanek device. The headaches are gone, neck ear and shoulder pain are non-existent, and there is pain when I chew. Thanks for the great intervention.

I learned about Dr. Urbanek’s office when I was experiencing a TMJ flare so severe that eating soup was a challenge. The mouth splint has worked wonders for me. We’ve tweaked it several times, and the results are worth the lengthy process. I didn’t realize how much of my chronic headaches and jaw pain were stemming from TMJD. My frequency of pain has decreased by 80-90%. My only regret is that I didn’t know about this option sooner.

I was slightly skeptical at first seeing Dr Urbanek. I’ve had headaches and ear issues since I was about 2. I’ve seen every type of Dr there is to see. I e been hospitalized due to headaches and ear issues, have had all types of ct scans, mri’s and everything in between with no,success in anything helping. My ENT Dr recommended Dr Urbanek thinking he may be able to help out. OMG!!! No more earaches, headaches down by 80%, ringing in ears gone, dizziness gone, jaw tightness gone. I highly recommend giving this a try if you have any issues above the shoulders whether neck, jaw, ears, or head this device has been amazing.

My family dentist recommended Dr. Urbanek to me. When I first came to Dr. Urbanek my complaints were right ear ache and last tooth on right top was hurting. Even after I had a root canal on that tooth I was still experiencing pain. I also had a ringing sound in my left ear. Once I received the device the earache and toothache stopped immediately. It was like a miracle. The ringing in my left ear started Lessing over time and now it has improved 95%. I would highly recommend this device to anyone that was experiencing the symptoms I had.

I suffered from TMJ for over 15 years. Constant headaches, ringing in my ears, and aching jaw pain, as the worst of my symptoms. I was shuffled back and forth between doctors, dentists, and specialists; they had no way of helping me. Instead, they would tell me the pain would go away with age, and to take pain medication as needed. Since my pain was so unbearable, I was on a steady supply of ibuprofen and Tylenol; I worried for my liver. I was in agony until I went to Dr. Urbanzek. To my surprise, he did what no one else was able to do: he gave me an actual solution to stop my TMJ. It is called the Urbanek Device. If I wore it consistently, my TMJ torment would supposedly end. I was skeptical at first, especially as my jaw began to ache in new ways during the first two months during the adjustment period. However, once I reached about four months, a majority of my pain had stopped: my headaches were gone and my jaw does not ache anymore. To my amazement, I no longer needed to take pain medication. As time goes by, I am confident the rest of my symptoms will fade too. The Urbanek Device changed my life and saved my liver.

When I first started with TMJ services of Brentwood I was experiencing symptoms such as severe headaches when I opened my mouth at the dentist office or even when I sang in church. I was also having neck pain and and earaches which I could not explain. At times my jaw would lock open temporarily and it would cause great pain to get my jaw to return it to its regular position. When I ate my there was sometimes a popping sound. When I first got the device which I wore 24/7 for a few months, I started to get relief of from my severest symptoms. Now I rarely experience any of the original symptoms. It has changed my life greatly. I know that I will continue to wear my device to avoid the return of my symptoms.

A year ago I went to a general ENT doctor here in the area and ended up having what I thought at the time a necessary nasal surgery. Long story short I regret ever having that procedure done. Thankfully I was referred to Dr. Urbanek by another ENT specialist and learning just how the symptoms I was experiencing was a result of having major TMD. Dr Urbanek, gave me 3 options to correct everything and I opted into getting the splint. It’s been 3 weeks now of wearing constantly and I can honestly say that I went from having lots of headaches and grinding my teeth to hardly anything. I definitely have a whole new appreciation for this device and thankful to have this to help me deal with everything. Thank you so much Dr Urbanek, I really appreciate you and this device.

This device is a life changer! I’ll be honest I was a bit skeptical at first, because I had tried a different device several years ago that did not work for me. My symptoms of migraines, ringing in the ear, overall poor health due to not sleeping have been dramatically changed for the better. Now, I can not sleep unless I have the Urbanek splint in my mouth. It’s like a pacifier! My overall health has improved since I have been wearing this device.

Dr. Urbanek’sTMJ procedures/mouthpiece absolutely work! My first time was in the early 2000’s and it started with headaches. This time was early 2022 and unfortunately this round started by breaking a tooth in my sleep from clinching so hard. There was no question as to what to do…..go back to Doc for a new round of treatment. Today it has been right at a year for this round of treatment and I feel amazing and my mouth is totally aligned and pain free!

I had been grinding and clenching my teeth regularly and intensely since childhood and have tried many different solutions throughout the years. It wasn’t until I started to get obvious pain in my jaw and ears that I sought out another solution. I was getting shooting pains in my ears for months and after using the TMJ splint for even a few months, the pain has nearly stopped and happens very rarely. I’m very excited to finally have found something that’s helped me!

For years I suffered from jaw pain, ear pain, ear clogging/ringing, and other annoyances. I went to every type of doctor, dentist, and ENTs trying to figure out how to resolve it. Finally I found Dr. Urbanek through my dentist and started using his device. Within weeks several of my symptoms had reduced greatly. Now, 6 months later I’m nearly symptom free! The pain and ear issues only come around every so often and generally resolve after a night of resting my jaw with the device. I can happily say the device and treatment plan have reduced my symptoms by 80-90%! Thank you!

Since beginning my journey with TMJ, my mindset has completely changed from one year ago. Previously, I had worked with other dentists and used a variety of otc and specialty mouth pieces. I had been struggling with ear problems, jaw pain, constant doctor visits, and overall stress over my biting and pain. It has now been about 1 year working with Dr. Urbanek and his staff and using his TMJ device. I, the skeptic, can notably tell a significant improvement in my TMJ symptoms! Ear problems are reduced drastically during allergy seasons, jaw pain is so infrequent it’s hardly noticeable and the intensity is lessened by 100%, and no frequent doctor visits due to ear or jaw issues. Looking back, I can say that 90% of my symptoms are lessened or completely gone since using this appliance over the past year.

I had been have jaw issues for a few years. I asked my dentist about it and he correctly thought it was TMJ but at the time said there were not many options to treat it if it wasn’t too bad. In the last year I started to have ear issues that wouldn’t clear up. Especially my right ear. It felt like I was having fluid in that ear constantly. I visited my ENT and he determined there was nothing wrong with my ear but that it was TMJ. So I ended up here visiting Dr. Urbina and we decided to try the mouth guard. I am about 9 weeks out and my jaw issues have cleared up completely. I am also not experiencing any neck and shoulder pain anymore (for which I have been seeing a chiropractor for years on a monthly basis. ) My ear issues have definitely improved and I hope to clear up all the way soon.

Patient Success Stories


Many people who experience unexplained headaches, earaches, neck pain, jaw pain, vertigo or shoulder/arm pain do not realize that these symptoms are due to the inflammation in their JAW JOINT resulting in Temporomandibular Joint Disorders.

Nancy M. & Dr. Urbanek

“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.” Nancy M.


L.A.D. & Dr. Urbanek
“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.” L.A.D.
