“I have been a patient at the clinic for a few years. When I started my treatment, I carried painkillers and anti-inflammatories in my bag, and in order to avoid the risk of having a painful crisis and not being able to get relief, in fact, I carried several painkillers and anti-inflammatories in each of my bags and I didn’t know what was causing my pain. I had a headache on the side of my head, in the temporal region, which bothered me a lot, it was an intense pain that often changed my mood, and so I always needed to have medication that would get me out of the crisis before it affected my daily life, my well-being, my work. And when I started treatment, I didn’t know that the causes of my pain were actually related to the way I bit, the way I closed my teeth. They met, but I had already seen several professionals and each of these professionals told me something different. One of them even suggested surgery, a very complex, aggressive surgery, in which I would have to have plates placed in my bones. of my face, modifying the bone structure. And it wasn’t a quick treatment, it wasn’t an easy treatment to use orthodontic braces at my age. It was a challenge, but it worked. Today, I practically don’t know what it’s like to have a headache. Today, I don’t need to carry medicines in my purse. Painkillers and anti-inflammatory medicines, at home, they expire. They are thrown away because they have passed their useful life. They have outlived their useful life, thank God.”
