"One morning the pain in my jaw, neck and ear was so severe that I couldn't ignore the symptoms any longer. I called Dr. Grace and he saw me immediately. We began the steps that have brought me complete relief from pain. After full and thorough examinations, TMJ was diagnosed and an appliance was made amd very carefully fitted for my lower teeth. Adjusting to the appliance was not difficult and I'm able now to wear it fewer hours a day, but always at night."

"As a result of an automobile accident many years ago, I was experiencing headaches, neck and shoulder tension, clenching and grinding of the teeth, which grew progressively worse. My dentist referred me to an orthodontist for orthodontic treatment. Later still, upon relocating to Beaufort, the same symptoms returned. I made an appointment to see Dr. Grace. Dr. Grace suggested, after a routine examination, that I wear an orthotic device, which I agreed to do. I was amazed how much it helped, after a short time the discomforts went away. I accidentally broke it one morning. I tried sleeping without it two nights. The next day I could hardly open my mouth, I was in so much pain. I called Dr. Grace’s office for an emergency appointment. He graciously saw me and had my orthotic repaired, without cost. Two day later, the pain was gone! (After wearing it nightly). I would not hesitate to recommend this device to anyone, especially seniors."

"For a good part of my life I have had headaches that begin in the back of my neck - I thought they were related to stress. I was taking Advil every day. Gene (Dr. Grace) thought that there was some connection to my over closed bite even though I had no (TMJ) joint symptoms. He made me a clear plastic splint that fits over my lower teeth. That was 5 months ago. I have not had an Advil since."

"I suffered headaches, earaches, neck pain and jaw pain before I began to suspect I had a problem with my back molars on the right side. Fearing the worst, I made an appointment to see Dr. Grace and resigned to the fact I would probably need a root canal. Since my diagnosis with TMJ and acquiring the splint my symptoms have reduced to the point that I hardly suffer pain except when I go for extended periods of time without the appliance. The splint brings me relief from my symptoms and quite often goes unnoticed by individuals around me. I hope others know and experience the same relief from pain."
