My story one morning I woke up unable to open my mouth due to jaw pain. I went to doctor . I was lucky because he knew what was wrong right away. It was TMJ . I could barely open. He referred me to a specialist and I found out a lot I did not know. There are other symptoms that go along with this that you may not be aware of like me.some of the symptoms I had experienced is headaches for long time and more resent jaw pain. Like most people I ignored it thinking that it would go away they don’t. If you have these problems ask your doctor if these symptoms could be caused by TMJ. It helps to know there is help out there. I got lucky and now the pain is almost completely gone. Don’t be afraid to ask and please don’t ignore the problem. That’s my story about how I found out about TMJ and got help.

I've had lifelong TMJ issues that I overlooked and did treat until my jaw locked and I couldn't open my mouth very wide. The device has eliminated the pain, tension and other symptoms that I had along with allowing my jaw to unlock. I highly recommend the Urbanek device.

I have had jowl problems for years due to grinding my teeth. Over the years headaches, ringing in ear, and other symptoms that I have told my dentist and family physician about. Until about 4 months ago my jowls staring locking. I was referred to Dr Urbanek. I am at 3 months wearing his mouth piece and have an 80% improvement. I would highly recommend people with the same problems to see before your jowls lock.

After many years of clenching my teeth, jaw pain and the ominous clicking while eating I found relief. I’ve worn my appliance for 11 months now. The pain, clicking and facial swelling has gone away. This is such a great relief. I’m hopeful that the healing process will continue in the months ahead. Regardless my TMJ issues are already 95% improved and due to this I recommend others try this.

Since wearing the device my jaws are not popping, the ear aches I was having have improved significantly (almost non existent). My jaws are not sore when I wake up of a morning and I have not had a headache in the past few weeks. I wish I had been told about this device when it first came out.

At my first appointment with Dr Urbanek, I was experiencing migraines and ear pain to the point that I was tired of dealing with it. Barely able to function some days. Since getting the mouth splint, I have had minimal headaches and am able to live again without the severe pain. Thank you for helping me get my life back!

I was dealing with unexplained and persistent headaches and stiffness, once I saw Dr. Urbanek and received my device all it took was a short 3 weeks before my worst symptoms were alleviated.

I have suffered with pain in my left jaw for over 20 years now. I have had a couple of dentists make me a retainer because they said I would grind my teeth when I was sleeping. It barely helped at all. In 2022 the pain became so bad. When I would open my jaw would lock up and it was so painful to open my mouth. Then I had pain run down my left shoulder into my hand. I would drop anything I touched. I went to physical therapy and it barely helped. It was time consuming and costly. Finally I went to the dentist and told him I could not deal with it anymore. He referred me to a TMJ. He made me a special device and it changed everything. I just wear it when I sleep and the pain has been reduced dramatically . Please refer patients with jaw pain to a specialist so they don’t have to continue to suffer.

As a singer it was challenging to struggle for years with headaches, neck pain, jaw fatigue, upper back pain, locked jaw, ringing in my ears, trouble opening my jaw wide enough to sing, arm numbness, along with a whole list of other symptoms. It was even a challenge with work to wear headphones or even glasses because they would push on my jaw joints and I’d have dizzy spells and severe pain. I took different medications and saw different doctors according to my symptoms but nothing was diagnosed. It wasn’t until my dentist recommended Dr.Urbaneck that real change happened. He showed me how all those symptoms over the last 25 plus years were due to TMJ and with his devise I could find relief. In the process he also had my see Dr. Rice to correct my jaw alignment with braces. He knew exactly how to help and provided everything I needed to recover. I went from being on Aleve several times a week and massive medical issues as well as medical bills to now 95% of my symptoms are gone. I can sing and record for hours with no difficulty. It’s a life changer for me as a recording artist! I wish everyone knew about this issue and the Urbanek device so they could get the proper care the first time and save thousands of dollars on testing that is unnecessary.

When I came to see Dr. Urbina, I had been having migraines for 40 years. I had been going to a pain clinic for 9 years and had been having the nerves in my neck burned yearly. In March 2022, the pain Doctor sent me to Dr Urbina. I decided to try the mouth piece, which I wore 24/7 for 3 months. After that amount of time, I wear only at night. My migraines have greatly improved, I get a headache every now and then, but have not had a migraine.

Very pleased with the outcome since wearing my device. All around positive experience after suffering from TMJ symptoms for a very long period of time. Highly recommend!

I came to Dr Urbanek to address horrible TMJ issues in my jaw including headaches and constant grinding. Dr Urbanek is very knowledgeable and assertive with his instructions on treating TMJ. As soon as I began to trust the process and Dr Urbanek, my symptoms began to diminish. I can’t give a 5 star rating because I still have the clicking, but the headaches have subsided. I will always be a grinder but I’m thankful for my mouth guard, and being made aware of how I constantly worked my mouth and jaw.

When I came to Dr Urbanek, I had many symptoms including muscle pain in my face, ringing in my ears and tingling in my arms and hands. So far the splint device has been amazing at reducing many of my symptoms . I was relieved that surgery would not be necessary. I would recommend this procedure for anyone with TMJ issues.

- Laurie C

I came in with extreme jaw pain and jaw locking and I had no idea what TMJ was. I was diagnosed with it and the doctor helped me to understand my symptoms and how to use the device. I feel like my symptoms overall have gotten way better and my jaw pain has gone away for the most part. The doctor did a great job is helping me through this.
