There’s a better way to treat chronic migraines and headaches

If you suffer from chronic migraines, you know how difficult they are to effectively diagnose and treat. The TruDenta system of diagnosis and treatment was developed to help uncover and resolve the frequently-overlooked causes behind your chronic migraines.

Uncover the hidden causes of your chronic pain

The TruDenta diagnostic process uses the latest technology to closely examines the nerves, muscles, and ligaments that surround the head, neck, and jaw to find any signs of the inflammation and chronic stress that can lead to constant headaches.

Get safe and lasting treatment from the doctors who understand your pain

If examination shows that your headaches are actually being caused by musculoskeletal problems, we can help. All TruDenta doctors have years of experience as dental professionals working with the delicate musculature of the jaw, neck, and head—a perfect background to implement TruDenta’s process of progressive rehabilitation and physical therapy for the damaged joints and stressed musculature that cause chronic headaches.

Testimonials:

“We went and did CT scans, we saw specialists, you name it, we did it… we heard everything from ‘it’s anxiety; she’ll grow out of it’ to ‘don’t worry about it; just give her Tylenol.’ After the second visit of TruDenta therapy, I had no more headaches — I would do this 100 times over because it has been amazing.”

Miss V, TruDenta Patient

“I would lose days being stuck in bed with severe migraine headaches… I couldn’t talk; I couldn’t read out loud to my children without my jaw seizing. The most relief I’ve had in over 10 years I have experienced in the last 6 to 7 weeks after starting this [TruDenta] treatment.”

Rachael, TruDenta Patient

Dr. Alfredo Rodriguez-Abrams

Welcome to my practice! I have been practicing Orthodontics in the Fresno area since 2000. After many years in this profession I still love what I do! I get to meet interesting adults, great families and amazing kids, and work with them to create beautiful smiles. My objective is to provide you and your family with the best orthodontic treatment, personalized to your individual needs.

As an orthodontist, my training includes facial reconstruction, orthopedics, as well as conventional and surgical orthodontics. I graduated Cum Laude from the University of Puerto Rico, receiving a Bachelor's degree in Biology as well as a Doctoral Degree in Dentistry. Upon completion of my dental degree, I completed a 30-month specialty program in orthodontics. I am an active member of international, state and local orthodontic and dental associations. I also attend numerous continuing education courses, study clubs and meetings throughout the year and am always at the leading edge of technological advances in orthodontics.

Focus

I pride myself on always utilizing the latest orthodontic technology and state-of-the-art braces to create beautiful smiles. This technology allows for greater comfort, less office visits and shorter treatment times. My focus has always been on the patient's experience. I strive to get to know each person who visits me, so that I might make their day a little brighter. I don't just want to improve smiles; I also want to inspire them!

Personal

I live in Fresno with my wife, Heather, and our lovely daughter, Camille. Our favorite activities include cooking, gardening, biking and reading. I also enjoy playing guitar and performing at church.

We treat our patients as members of our family. We are certain you will enjoy your experience with us and look forward to meeting you. Welcome to the practice!

The TruDenta Process

Assessment Process
Treatment Process

Assessment Process

Bite Force Analysis

Our proprietary T-Scan technology allows our doctors to precisely assess your mouth and jaw for dental imbalances during opening, closing, and chewing, right down to the amount and direction of the force exerted by each individual tooth.

Range of Motion Analysis

Dental imbalances often cause chronic muscle tension and inflammation, which can in turn limit your head and jaw movement. Our doctors measure and monitor the movement range of your head and jaw to more accurately determine the most effective treatment plan for your symptoms.

Headache History Form

Headaches can occur for many different reasons — in order to find the source of your headaches and determine if the TruDenta treatment process will be effective for you, your TruDenta doctor will speak with you in detail about your past headaches and their specific symptoms.

Muscle Exam

Your TruDenta doctor will locate the latent trigger points in your face and neck that restrict motion and contribute to jaw imbalances — these knots of tense muscle are often missed without a thorough examination.

Head Health Questionaire

Jaw or head trauma can cause a variety of hidden changes in the jaw, neck, and face that may later manifest as stiffness, pain, or headaches. By cataloging any possible sources of damage, your TruDenta doctor can more effectively focus your treatment plan.

Treatment Process

Ultrasound

Therapeutic ultrasound treatment returns circulation to chronically sore and strained muscles by providing gentle heat and increasing blood flow, while the targeted sound waves break up scar tissue and deep adhesions.

Trigger Point Therapy

Manual trigger point therapy decreases and eliminates pain and tension in latent and active trigger points by breaking up muscle knots and increasing blood flow in order to decrease inflammation.

Electrocurrent

Our transcutaneous microcurrent stimulation therapy reduces muscle spasms and their accompanying pain through low-level electrical signals. It also decreases lactic acid build-up and encourages healthy nerve stimulation.

Low-Level Laser

Our cold laser therapy decreases pain and inflammation and accelerates healing of muscle and joint tissue 25 to 35 percent faster than usual, while helping to rebuild natural nerve function.
