I had severe TMJ and it got so bad I couldn't sleep at night. I started my procedure with Dr Lauson and within 3 months my pain was gone. He did a great job and the staff is wonderful. I can now sleep on my sides without my head hurting and finally sleep all night.
I have been in treatment here over a year now for a TMJ orthodontic plan. After being in a car accident that injured my teeth and jaw, I avoided orthodontics for over a decade for fear of worse tmj headaches...a previous consult only said 'itll get worse before it gets better ' in response to my concern -what a jerky thing! Here they are comprehensive in their treatment and put me at ease that Dr. Lauson had solutions to both my orthodontic and TMJ needs hand in hand. That has proved true and my headaches are much better. I also can't have enough about the team here! They are all consistently welcoming, helpful, friendly and kind in accommodating my needs as a patient. This has been true when I've needed to get in quickly due to complications a handful of times. I was skeptical at all the 5 stars reviews and wondered at how true and great they were...they really are wonderful here and do stand out above any previous medical experience I've known. Yay!
Before coming to Aurora Ortho & TMJ, I was suffering from TMD and I knew it would only get worse. But thanks to the excellent car of Dr. Lauson and his team, my TMD symptoms have disappeared! I would highly recommend this practice to anyone, whether you are seeking TMD relief or just would like a straighter smile.
Would not recommend! Ruined my teeth and bite and charged me a fortune. So much so, I had to have crowns at great expense to fix my bite which was worsened by his treatment. I would still be in treatment if I had not ended it. I was almost 3 years in with worse problems than I started with.
Correction of the results of traditional orthodontics. He does functional orthodontics which means he takes the entire face into account not just the teeth. He will reverse the retraction that was done after extraction of teeth. Extraction of teeth for braces causes underdevelopment of the entire lower half of the face, stunting it's growth with steel. Functional orthodontics can staighten teeth without extractions, or, As in my case , attempt to expand the arch again, allowing your lower face to develop the way it should have.
