My
jaw clicking started about eight years ago after biting into
a very hard apple. At first, I was very scared at the clicking,
which occurred each time I opened my mouth. Eventually, I got
used to it and thought that it didn't bother me. However, as
time went on, I started to get dizzy and my ears started popping.
When I went to my dentist, she told me I have a TMJ problem.
She gave me a bite plate to wear and my dizziness and ear pain
virtually disappeared. I know it works because if I forget to
wear the bite plate, the next day I have a slight headache in
the temples.
Thanks to my dentist for diagnosing the problem and helping
me treat my undesirable symptoms. |

Whenever
I went to a dentist, I heard the same words over and over again:
"Please open your mouth wider. Even wider. This isn't wide enough.
Oh, you mean you can't?" None of these dentists ever told me
I had a problem.
Once I had an infection in my tooth and went to see Dr. Weiner
for the first time. She asked me to do the same thing all the
other dentists did - to open my mouth wide. When she saw that
it was not possible for me, she told me right away that I have
a TMJ problem and that I am not the only one. Before I visited
Dr. Weiner, every single dental experience was a torture just
because opening my mouth alone was painful. But the worst problems
were my frequent headaches and sharp pain on both sides of my
jaw. I couldn't even chew gum without biting my lip. |

I
am now undergoing treatment for my problem, which consists of
wearing a special device. Since I started this treatment, my
symptoms stopped and my whole life experience became much more
pleasant. It is going to take approximately two years to become
TMD-free, and it is absolutely worth it! I can't wait when I
can sit in a dental chair and no longer worry about not being
able to open my mouth wide enough for my dentist to see my wisdom
tooth and painless enough for me not to feel a thing.
Thank you, Doctor Weiner!

I experienced discomfort in my temples for years, but in the last 2.5 years, the discomfort turned into pain. I couldn't sleep at night. Sometimes my jaw would lock, and I couldn't open my mouth for 3-4 days. The pain made me nervous, upset and depressed. I was seeing dentists, physicians, even went to Europe to see other doctors, but the only thing that I was offered to stop the pain was painkillers...
Until one day my mother found Dr. Weiner's advertisement in a newspaper. I called the office and made an appointment, and that was my first step to life free of pain. It has been 1.5 years since I started feeling real relief. |

At first, a special appliance was placed in my mouth to broaden
and shape my jaws and then I started wearing braces to straighten
my teeth. The headaches went away as soon as I started wearing
the appliance! It was hard to believe, but I could finally
lead a normal life without pain.
Thanks
to Dr. Weiner, my life has changed and made me a healthier
and a happier person! |

Ever since I was 6 years old, I couldn't ever smile openly. I either smiled with my mouth closed or I automatically closed my mouth with my hand when I laughed. Nobody ever teased me, but I always felt uncomfortable and had no confidence in my smile.
When I lived in Russia, dentists would make me wear some retainers, which never worked. Then, the orthodontics became more known in Russia, and my parents took me to the orthodontist, who said "There is nothing I can do except to take four teeth out and then push the rest of the teeth together with braces." My parents refused to put me through such a procedure and lose four healthy teeth at 15. I thought that I would have crooked teeth for the rest of my life.

When I came to the U.S., I went to a couple of orthodontists, who eventually told me the same thing, trying to convince me that everything would look great, and there is nothing wrong with taking "some" teeth out.
I didn't give up my hope, and I would go through orthodontics advertisements in newspapers on a daily basis. When I saw Dr.Weiner's ad, which promised that no teeth would be taken out, I made an appointment right away. Now two years later, I am very pleased with the results, and I cant stop smiling (making up for all those years that I couldn't smile).
Thanks to Dr. Weiner, who made me a much happier and confident person. |
