Migraine Or TMD??
Do you or a loved one suffer from headaches, sometimes severe? If so, you are not alone. According to the website migraine.com, over 12 % of the US population suffers from migraines with some studies putting it closer to 20%. You only have to watch TV and see all the ads for headache/pain relief. However, what many people think is a migraine is actually a symptom related to their Jaw Joint or (TMJ) Temporomandibular Joint. Due to an inflammation in the TMJ, patients can experience frequent headaches along with the following symptoms of TMD (Temporomandibular Disorder:
- Frequent of recurrent headaches with the associated pain always being located where the muscles of mastication are attached to the bone of the face and skull.
- Frequent or recurrent earaches. This can be unilateral or bilateral and frequently described by patients as a “deep earache”.
- Neck pain
- Pain in the mandible, (lower jaw), which can be confused with dental pain. Many patients have actually had teeth extracted thinking that the pain was coming from the teeth.
- Tinnitus (ringing in the ear)
- Hearing problems frequently described and a feeling of fullness in the ear or talking inside of a drum
- Vertigo
- Shoulder or arm pain or tightness
- Arm/hand/finger tingling or numbness
- Inability to open the lower jaw fully or locking of the jaw

What Our Patient Have to Say About Us!

- S.K. Young - Actual TMJ Patient
"I didn't realize how much TMJ was impacting my life because I'd lived with the symptoms for so long, but Dr. Falender and his staff were so compassionate, knowledgeable, understanding and helpful. I'm so glad I sought their help-they've made such a difference! Thanks for all you do!"
- Stephanie H. - Actual TMJ Patient

- Andrew F. - Actual TMJ Patient
"The Urbanek TMJ splint from Dr. Falender has helped my jaw greatly. Before I started wearing the splint, I had frequent headaches and jaw popping.. After wearing the splint for a couple of months, my jaw has improved tremendously! My jaw no longer locks, I hardly have headaches/migraines, my neck is no longer sore, and I have no jaw pain. I strongly recommend the TMJ splint to anyone who has TMJ (TMD). It is worth the price."

- Julie L. - Actual TMJ Patient
"The Urbanek TMJ splint has been a game changer for me. Before the splint I was experiencing major jaw, neck, shoulder and arm pain. I suffered with TMJ symptoms for about 5 years prior to taking corrective action. The cost of the remedy kept me from seeking a solution sooner than I did but I finally gave in when I couldn't handle the pain any longer. Once I began wearing the sprint, I noticed immediate improvement and it only continued to get better. I am beyond satisfied with the results that I have experienced and absolutely recommend this product to anyone with TMJ."
- Toni W. - Actual TMJ Patient

- Cynthia G. - Actual TMJ Patient
"I had been dealing with TMJ since I was about 13 years old. I had gone to a lot of different doctors. I went through mouth guards, and even had to get my wisdom teeth removed but nothing seemed to work. When I met with Dr. Falender and discussed the splint I thought it was just another mouth guard and that it wouldn't work, but now 3 months later, my pain and symptoms have been reduced down by 95%. "
- Grace S. (16 Years Old) - Actual TMJ Patient

Since Dr. Falender started treatment with the Urbanek device, I have experienced over 90% reduction in symptoms and no tinnitus! As a certified massage therapist, I understand the importance of good alignment, relief of muscle tension and reduction in inflammation. My bite feels more in alignment for the first time in years. As an added benefit, No More Snoring!"

- Barbar R. - Actual TMJ Patient
"I am 74 years old. About 18 months ago I experienced extreme pain in my right jaw. I contacted my dentist who suspected it was TMJ. I was then referred to Dr. Falender. (Described as an expert in this field). He confirmed the diagnosis. He made a custom apparatus (Urbanek TMJ splint) for the roof of my mouth to be worn 24 hours a day. Through a precise schedule he monitored the progress. Asking questions pertaining to the TMJ symptoms. As of today I am pain free and have no symptoms at all. I didn't expect 100% improvement, but he did it!"
- Janet K. - Actual TMJ Patient
"I first reached out to Dr. Falender and staff while browsing online for TMJ solutions. I had previously wore a device from another specialist years ago but was intrigued by the 9-12 weeks with possible results opposed to 9-12 months from the previous device. From start to finish it was an easy process. My worst symptoms were jaw pain, neck pain, and ringing of the ears. The first 4-6 weeks my results were at a 50% improvement by the end of the 9-12 weeks I am at a 90% or more improvement. Dr. Falender and his staff are wonderful! My experience was above and beyond what I could have hoped it to be. Being pain free has made my life "normal" and I am so appreciative."
- Jeananne Y. - Actual TMJ Patient
"The Urbanek device has helped me immensely. I can bite down and not feel my mouth sliding around. I don't have the loud ringing in my ears and I don't wake up in the morning with the severe jaw pain that I was suffering from before I began wearing it. I would recommend the Urbanek device to anyone who is experiencing jaw pain, ringing in the ears, and/or headaches. I also sleep much better and wake up more rested than before wearing the device. My husband can also attest to this as my snoring no longer keeps him awake at night."
- Pamela T. - Actual TMJ Patient

I sleep better, wake up refreshed without a headache and have significantly reduced symptoms all throughout the day. It has truly been a life improving technique and Dr. Falender and his staff have been helpful and professional throughout the entire process."

Alter the very first day of wearing the Urbanek TMJ splint; almost all of my problems were minimal. The first week all painful symptoms were gone. I was amazed and so pleased with the results he helped me experience. I am so glad that he knew exactly what would help me and it certainly has been easy to wear and helped so fast. I'm very pleased with everything.
I highly recommend Dr. Falender and his great office staff as they got the desired results and truly do make me feel comfortable and care so much!"

- Linda G. - Actual TMJ Patient
"Translated from Spanish. I am very happy to have found this clinic and put it in the hands of Dr. Falender. For many years I suffered from migraines until the day I could no longer take the pain. Well, it was not only a headache, but also the jaw. The pain was going up and then down to the neck and shoulders it was extremely strong. It made me feel dizzy with vertigo, it made me cry the pain. Desperate I searched the internet and found this place. I thank God for the gadget in my mouth that Dr. Falender put. Little by little my pain began to diminish and now I feel very grateful to God and to Dr. Falender who finally discovered what was causing my pain. The headaches, neck pain, vertigo and everything is gone and thanks for the device I had a new diet. I regained my normal weight. Thank you very, very much Dr. Falender & staff."

“This device helped me with a lot of my symptoms and I have noticed a continued improvement. Most of my symptoms (jaw pain, tinnitus and vertigo) have faded after months of use and my teeth feel better because of no clenching or grinding. The ease and ability of the device makes it very convenient and its easy to clean. I will likely continue to use this device for years to manage my TMD.”
- Kyle S. - Actual TMJ Patient
"I’ve dealt with TMD and migraines since middle school. I’ve seen dentist and doctors with no results at all. I’d given up. My symptoms of pain became so severe that I was seeking emergency treatment and referral to rehab for resulting issues. I was on several muscle relaxers and painkillers which didn’t help.
Seeing Dr. Falender was my last hope for any kind of relief. Six weeks after getting my Urbanek splint, the migraines, vertigo, ear pain, tendinitis and jaw pain, popping and locking are almost nonexistent. I never expected even 50% improvement, let alone the 90% I am experiencing.
I went from drinking Ensure because I couldn’t close my jaw and eating entirely normally without any pain. Dr. Falender has been incredible, friendly, and results driven from day 1. Anyone having any hesitation should just go and meet the staff and Dr. Falender for yourself. The splint is 100% worth every penny.
10/10 would highly recommend."
- Jenny A. - Actual TMJ Patient
"I came to see the Doctor (Dr. Falender) because I was having trouble with my jaw tightening. I didn’t know that my vertigo and other problems (tinnitus) that I was having was even caused by my jaw.

- Robert R. - Actual TMJ Patient
"9 weeks in on using my device (Urbanek TMJ splint) and my jaw clicking is gone! Still some improvement needed for the stiffness, but the doctor has been monitoring it well.

- DeeAnn G. - Actual TMJ Patient
"The device (Urbanek TMJ device) is very helpful and doesn’t hurt your teeth at all. It is very comfortable to use and doesn’t bother you at all. If I have to recommend a place for your jaw or any teeth problem, Indianapolis Oral Surgery and Dental Implant Center would have to be the place. The take care of all that matters and make sure everything is final. Just like me having to have the device on for my jaw; till the point when I no longer had pain. Which didn’t take that long! PS. Everyone here is so kind and helpful-they work as a team. The best team you could ever find."
- Hel G. - Actual TMJ Patient
"I was diagnosed with TMJ (TMD) many years ago and have been wearing an appliance at night.
I began to realize that something had changed and the alignment of my jaw was off. Teeth did not feeling they were fitting together properly. The appliance (Urbanek TMJ device) recommended by Dr. Falender has changed that. Several months of wearing the appliance appears to have realigned my jaw.
The experience has been excellent and I feel that improvement has occurred that enables me to now wear the appliance only at night. Thank you!"
- Amelia D. - Actual TMJ Patient

"I walked into Indianapolis Oral Surgery & Dental Impact Center unable to close my jaw because of extreme pain. I was stressed beyond belief, had horrible headaches, and could not eat. I was miserable. Thanks to Dr. Falender and his team I was fitted for a device that changed everything. If you had asked me when I walked through the door if I believed I could feel the way I do now, I would have laughed (if it had not hurt so badly). Less than six weeks later, I cannot begin to describe how much better I feel. There is absolutely no pain. Dr. Falender and his staff were kind, attentive, and celebrated with me as my pain lessened. I truly believe they are just as excited as I am about my progress. I would recommend Dr. Falender to anyone without hesitation. He helped me in a way I did not know was possible and I am beyond grateful."
- Amber T. - Actual TMJ Patient
"The TMJ splint device (Urbanek TMJ splint) was a great choice for me. I had headaches and neck pain and ear pain for a long time and no idea what the cause was. When I came here I realized that a lot of what I was feeling came from my TMJ. Getting the splint device was a great decision and really made a difference. I can confidently say that I’m feeling significantly less pain and I am more than happy with my results. I am so thankful for the team of people here that worked with me and made me feel confident and well supported and my choice."

"The process from scheduling to receiving the device ( Urbanek TMJ splint) was quick and easy. Everyone in the office is beyond amazing!

Boy am I glad I did! Two years of pain and discomfort that nobody could put their finger on was completely gone in a month. Not only do I feel better I sleep better which changes my overall attitude and well-being. I would recommend Dr. Falender for anyone needing TMJ treatment or oral surgery.

Very happy patient!"
- Karla J - 90% Improvement - Actual TMJ Patient
"My jaw was so painful that I was unable to eat, talk or sleep. I had seen several dentist, oral surgeons and specialists before coming to Dr. Falender. He said that there was no medicine or surgery they would take care of my jaw issue and provided me with information on the Urbanek TMJ device which is not covered by insurance. I lived with the excruciating pain for a couple of weeks after my appointment I was forced by my family to return to Dr. Falender for the device. I live 3 hours from Indianapolis so trusting that advice would help was a big commitment!
Initially the fit did not work and I returned skeptical that I could be helped. Dr. Falender made adjustments to the device and I followed all instructions given. Within weeks my jaw opened and pain disappeared. Amazing!! Thank you Dr. Falender and staff."
- Mary S - 100% Improvement - Actual TMJ Patient
"Using the device and visiting with Dr. Falender helped me pinpoint and understand the complex discomfort my long-term teeth grinding was causing. Getting a mouth guard/device that separates my back teeth at night but I can’t clench down on has really helped! It’s been a journey for sure but if you have jaw discomfort from TMJ/teeth grinding, it’s a great place to start healing, while also working to reduce your life stress! ๐."

"The Urbanek TMJ device has been the most helpful of any device I’ve tried to relieve my TMJ problems. I like sleeping with it because I hardly notice it’s there and it does what it supposed to do. My previous splint made my mouth sore and definitely did not fit as well. The Urbanek device helps me relax my mouth when I drive long distances. It keeps me from clenching or grinding my teeth. My symptoms of pain and discomfort during the day have decreased considerably since I first wore the device all day for six weeks. I am happy that my dentist referred me to Dr. Falender."

- Kiarrah E - 100% Improvement - Actual TMJ Patient
"I walked into Indianapolis Oral Surgery & Dental Impact Center unable to close my jaw because of extreme pain. I was stressed beyond belief, had horrible headaches, and could not eat. I was miserable. Thanks to Dr. Falender and his team I was fitted for a device that changed everything. If you had asked me when I walked through the door if I believed I could feel the way I do now, I would have laughed (if it had not hurt so badly). Less than six weeks later, I cannot begin to describe how much better I feel. There is absolutely no pain. Dr. Falender and his staff were kind, attentive, and celebrated with me as my pain lessened. I truly believe they are just as excited as I am about my progress. I would recommend Dr. Falender to anyone without hesitation. He helped me in a way I did not know was possible and I am beyond grateful."

"When I came to Dr. Falender for my TMJ, I was having headaches every day and a lot of jaw pain. This was actually a last resort for me. I did not know what else to try.
Dr. Falender fitted me with the Urbanek device and I had great doubts as to whether it would make a difference. Lo and behold, after only about two days of wearing the device I did not have a headache and ear pain was greatly reduced. After wearing this device for over three weeks I have no headaches and much less jaw pain.
I would recommend Dr. Falender and this device to anyone and everyone who thinks there is no cure. There is, it works!"

DID YOU KNOW that nearly 50% of all women suffer with unexplained headaches, migraines, earaches, neck pain, jaw pain, vertigo or shoulder/arm pain?

Dr. Urbanek’s TMJ Splint is a small acrylic piece that fits comfortably in the mouth and is uniquely designed to relieve the jaw joint inflammation. It’s more than just a dental splint or mouth guard… it’s a life changer!
Dr. Tony Urbanek, inventor of the patent pending, drug-free, non-surgical, permanent solution to jaw joint problems, arrived at this treatment after performing thousands of surgeries and realizing the relief was often only temporary. He went above and beyond the typical dental mouth guard or splint. The result: To-date over 1,000 patients have been treated with this pioneering new method with over 90% success.
This patented device is designed to remove 90% of the load from the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). By doing so, the inflammation is decreased and the symptoms are relieved.
The Urbanek TMJ Splint is unique from other devices used to treat TMD because it can be comfortably worn 24/7 to quickly relieve the joint.
