“My Pain is gone”
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.

“Dr. Urbanek saved my life.”
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!

“So long headaches and jaw pain!”
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!

“TMJ Success!”
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!

“TMJ”
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.

“TMJ Disease - 90% Pain Free”
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!

“TMJ”
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!

“Longtime TMJ sufferer”
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.

“TMJ”
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!
