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.

After being told several different diagnoses regarding my symptoms headaches & severe ear pain I was very skeptical of Dr Urbanek’s recommendation for the mouthpiece to cure all it definitely has cured all of my symptoms related to TMJ

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!

This was the best decision I made for myself. I have alleviated my pain and I am glad I trusted the Dr,! I followed his instructions by wearing it like I should. Money well spent,

For nearly 3 years I have dealt with terrible pain and other symptoms of TMJ following a MVA. I have been seeing Dr. Urbanek since October 2022 and with his treatment 85% of my problems are no longer present. I am so thankful that I was referred to his practice as his help has greatly improved my life!

I went from experiencing headaches,earaches,jaw pain and neck pain. I also had numbness in my hands and dizziness. I was limited on the food I could eat because of the jaw pain. I recommend the retainer for anyone with TMJ. I no longer have any pain thanks to Dr. Urbina

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 headaches and soreness in the jaw and now I am pain free. The Doctor and staff are wonderful and I am so happy with the results I have had wearing the device.

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.

On the first day, I was experiencing clicking, jaw pain, ear pain, headaches, and neck discomfort. Through wearing the prescribed device, my symptoms have nearly all gone away. I do not experience anymore clicking or pain anywhere that I used to. With their instructions and care I have reached a lot better feeling daily with my jaw, head, and neck. It has improved how I can go about my day without worrying about the pains I once had.

I was experiencing extreme pain in my right ear which caused headaches for over six months. I went to urgent care thinking I had a ear infection, however I was informed that nothing was wrong with my ears. The doctor recommended I go back to my dentist because the problem was my teeth. Upon examining me and doing X-rays, my dentist recommended a root canal. After doing the root canal I noticed that the pain in my ear didn’t subside, so I went back to my dentist and it was recommended that I try something mouth guards from Amazon. I tried the guards off Amazon but the pain remained. By this time the headaches worsened, my jaw was locking, and the pain was so bad I was constantly in pain. I went back to my dentist and she referred me to Dr. Urbanek. When I came here everything changed, Dr Urbanek understand my story and explained what was happening and how it could be resolved. After following the doctors orders I started to get relief from the pain that I had been experiencing for almost two years. It’s hard to believe that in less that six months I’m 90% better. I am so thankful for the Urbanek Device, it really WORKS!

When I first came in I was in constant pain, and my jaw movements felt very restricted. Today, I am very glad to report about 85%of the pain I was feeling has subsided and is only felt occasionally. It’s getting better with every passing month. The guard works .

I came to Dr. Urbanek’s office with tenderness and pain in my jaw. Also my jaw popping very loudly when I chew had begun to concern myself and others sitting nearby. I had used a standard night guard for years to protect my teeth from the grinding but my jaw wasn’t getting better. After 2-3 months of using Dr. Urbanek’s guard the pain was gone. As time passed the popping grew significantly softer. My jaw will probably always pop from the ligament damage I’ve sustained, but now at 16 months I can’t remember the last time I even noticed it unless I was purposefully thinking about it. I wear the guard every night.

I was skeptical when I first heard about the TMJ services and device protocol. After being in treatment, with 80% of my symptoms resolved or drastically improved after 2 mos., I can honestly say this isn’t all “hocus locus”. I was having severe headaches, bruxism (jaw clenching) wondering why I had so much discomfort. The answer was uncovered and is now being treated: TMD. If you follow the simple instructions, and just work through it, things will get better. The reason Dr. Urbanek likes to see you along the way is to measure your progress, and help you with your milestones to keep continuing on, even when it gets hard. The results are so worth it.
