Living with debilitating migraines for most of my adult life meant dealing with everything from auras and nausea to chronic neck and shoulder pain that forced me into dark, quiet rooms. I was desperate for a solution that didn’t involve lifelong medication, so when a friend with similar issues recommended Dr. Yoshikane in Orange, CA, I decided to give it a shot. Even though my office was 40 miles away—well outside my comfort zone—the pain was too severe to ignore. During my visit, Dr. Yoshikane examined my teeth and explained how an uneven bite was causing muscle overload, leading to my TMJ dysfunction and ongoing health issues. He even pointed out why my porcelain crowns had cracked due to the stress. I was nervous about having teeth ground down, but the bite equilibration process was surprisingly painless, and his team kept me comfortable. The result was immediate: all my teeth now touch in perfect synchronization without my jaw having to shift around like it did for decades. I’ve also stopped biting the inside of my cheek! The most incredible part? Months later, I realized I haven’t had a migraine since the procedure. Dr. Yoshikane is clearly experienced in diagnosing TMJ disorders and puts his patients' best interests first. I’m actually excited to go back and finish my implant crown!
