"Angie was the first medical provider (out of a few dozen) who thought that my headaches were related to my orthodontic and jaw issues... Thanks to her knowledge, I'm completely headache-free and am back at work again."

"I decided to pursue orthodontic treatment as an adult, and discovered Angie at ChitChat Therapies after learning that I would benefit from orofacial myofunctional therapy ["myo"] alongside orthodontics.
"She has been a wonderful guide, helping me correct my swallowing technique, tongue position, and jaw movement. Starting a process like this as an adult can be daunting, but Angie is an incredibly patient and knowledgeable teacher, and I’ve enjoyed learning from her over the course of therapy. "She brings enthusiasm and experience to each session, and provides excellent follow-up communication between sessions. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed learning new skills through her support, and it’s been a joy to have had such expert care throughout this journey!" |

"After having daily migraines for 18 months, seeing 30+ medical providers in several disciplines, and trying dozens of ineffective migraine medications, I saw Angie for an orofacial myofunctional evaluation. She noted my many signs and symptoms of an orofacial myofunctional disorder (sleeping problems, mouth breathing, dark circles under my eyes, low tongue resting posture, reverse swallow pattern...I could go on).
"At this point, I was ready to give up my search for migraine relief, much less a cure. (Due to the 3-4 medical appointments I drove to all over the metro Denver-Boulder area, I took a medical leave from my corporate job for a couple of months). "Despite what all of the medical doctors hypothesized, Angie maintained that my temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) could be contributing to my 'migraines.' This was confirmed after I visited an airway-centric dentist and also an airway-centric orthodontist whom Angie recommended. Both of these doctors noticed that I clenched my jaw and that my bite had been negatively altered by previous orthodontics. I pursued orthodontic treatment with one of the doctors, and myo therapy with Angie. "Within just two days of wearing upper and lower retainers, I had significant relief from 'migraines.' Within one week, my 'migraines' were completely gone! Based on my progress, I realized that the reputable neurologist who specializes in migraines (whom I had seen for a year and was "100% certain" that I had migraines) misdiagnosed me. I actually had headaches resulting from my orofacial myofunctional disorder (which includes TMD and sleep apnea). "I'm incredibly thankful for Angie's expertise and support throughout my orthodontic, TMD, and headache journey. She and her network of medical providers have enabled me to feel and live like I did before my migraine misdiagnosis." " |
