"I had orthodontics as a teen but in the last few years I have had terrible jaw, neck and back pain. My mother would massage my neck and shoulders frequently. A dentist on Hilton Head made me a splint but it made things worse. Dr. Grace 'tensed' the muscles on my face, made me a splint and I am symptom free. No more massages!"

"During my life, I have been plagued with vertigo and motion sickness from birth on. I (or my parents) should have owned stock in the "Dramamine" company. For all that I (they) have bought over the years, even the antivert medication, I (they) would be the millionaire. The motion sickness was helped with my back surgery, but the vertigo was still occurring especially after being in a prone position for any length of time. Some days were worse than others, which I could function, but with care except on the days (I mean days) that the room never stopped spinning. After one episode in Febuary of 2004 (which lasted over a month) and visiting my physician with the usual medication, I had an appointment with Dr. Grace and he thought he could help me. At this point I was willing to try anything. I followed through with the appointments for the test which were rather simple to me and in fact very relaxing. After I received my brace, I was faithful to wear it everywhere for almost 24 hours only removing to eat. I got to the point when I knew something was not right and would call. Dr. Grace was very good about seeing me before I went to work. I have had headaches all my life. I never thought about the headaches, but they mysteriously disappeared after about a week. I woke each morning and continue to awake without a headache or vertigo. I am supposed to wear it for about 12 hours daily, but I usually wear the brace about 18 to 20 hours daily. I just feel better knowing it is in my mouth. I do enjoy getting up in the mornings now and look forward to a good day, which are now more and more. My husband and I now plan many things and are enjoying life better. Thanks!"

"For the last 5 or 6 years my jaw made a terrible popping noise upon opening wide. I have also had a chronic pain in the middle of my back and neck. Dr. Grace made me a splint and immediately my jaw made no sounds with my splint in. Within 2 weeks my neck and back pain went away. Unbelievable!! The next step is braces to open my bite where Dr. Grace has found the correct relationship between my upper and lower jaws." - David Ellis
