Real Patient Stories
"My visit with Dr. Chai was because of neck, jaw and back pain. I would say the improvement since treatment began is 100%. Activities I am now able to do include yard work, picking up tree limbs and mowing the lawn. My advice for people considering jaw joint treatment is to try it - it works." - Donna L.
"The purpose of consulting with Dr Chai was my ear pain (pressure and plugging up), jaw pain and head pain, teeth eroding/aching, and continual post-nasal/sinus congestion. I no longer feel ear plugging and congestion. Most pains are also alleviated and there are no crunching or popping sounds in my jaw joints! I am now able to stand up straight and not locked hunched forward. I am able to stretch out kinks from my spine and neck easily. I was able to quit using 'sensitive teeth' toothpaste. The laser muscle treatments work wonders and the oral appliances are worlds away from regular 'night guards'. Dr. Chai takes the time to listen and suggests many alternative aspects of treating your symptoms." - Natasha B.
"We were referred to Dr. Chai because our chiropractor and other practitioners could not help Bianca. The only person that could give her some relief was her cranial sacral therapist, but only to a certain point. Since Bianca started seeing Dr. Chai, she began going back to school. She is socially active again with her friends. Her moods improved. Her headaches are less severe and she functions better. She even tolerates noise better. She is able to talk on the phone again, go on shopping trips with her friends, and attend sleepovers." - Irene T.
"My jaw would always lock. There was clicking when I opened my mouth and I was getting a lot of headaches. Since treatment began, my jaw hasn't locked and the clicking is getting better. My headaches have nearly stopped. My advice for people considering TMJ treatment is to go for it." - Yvonne F.
"Since I started using the snoring appliance made for me, I am experiencing better, more refreshing sleep. Also when I wake, my mouth is no longer dry from sleeping with my mouth open. The appliance, which was originally suggested to reduce teeth grinding, is comfortable to wear and easy to care for. I am very pleased with the results." - Glenn P.
"I was not able to open my mouth to eat and I had mentally debilitating pain. Within an hour of wearing my mouth appliances, I felt my face and body relaxing. I had somewhere to rest my jaw. I can now open my mouth much wider and am able to put food in my mouth without breaking it down into small, soft pieces. I can now bite down on my teeth without terrible pain to my joint." - Janna D.
"It's been three months since I started treatment and I feel very much improved. No head problems at all (I use to get 14 headaches a month), and I am enjoying food now with no jaw pain. When I get up in the morning now, my jaw doesn't feel tired like it did before. This has helped me a lot. Thank you." - Melissa M.
"I woke up one morning unable to open my mouth more than one inch due to horrible pain. After some massage, my jaw was able to open more. I wasn't aware of how much I grinded my teeth until I was wearing my TMJ appliance. Wow. What a difference! My jaw is no longer painful after wearing the appliances (day and night).
After wearing my appliances for approximately 4 months, we went on a one-week vacation. I had forgotten my appliances!! Even with all the relaxation, my jaw became sore again. I was relieved to get home to put my appliance back in.
Now a year later, I have no more jaw pain, I can open my jaw fully, and I am a lot more aware of the contact my teeth make." - Jacqui D.
"My TMJ treatment with Dr. Chai has really helped relieve my symptoms. My headaches have subsided, and my sinus problems are a lot better. While I do still have slight clicking in my jaw joints, the sound is nowhere as loud as they had been before, when other people could hear me opening and closing my jaws! I am more conscious of my posture and my neck is not as tired or stiff as it had been before treatment. My neck's range of motion is better as well. The TMJ treatment has improved my physical appearance; my lower jaw is lower and further out, so my smile is not all upper teeth anymore." - Barb B.
"After a year and a half of treatment, all the symptoms I previously had - including a stiff and sore neck, low-grade headaches, and locking of my jaw with pain - are gone. I am happy that I received this treatment and I am looking forward to continued good dental health." - Sara V. L.
