I have bought a night gaurd and it was just too big and bulky and it was the smallest one. I felt that my mouth was ever more sore when I woke up, but maybe I should try again.
I too have heard HORRIBLE stories about others with TMJ and I just don't want to end up like that.
I think 5 years of braces and a HORRBILE experiance having my wisdom teeth removed caused me to develop TMJ and then when my dad died it got worse. My sisters friend is a dental hygenist and she felt my mouth and stuff and she said that it doesn't look like I grind my teeth at night so I guess thats good but she said I could still be baring down. I've been praying because I do I do believe in miracles so I hope one day it will feel better and God will take my pain away. I'm just tired of not being able to get my mother on a good cheeseburger, chew some gum...although I've learned to keep a travel sized bottle of Scope with me
I hope all of you who suffer with this condition will get better soon because I feel your pain...if anyone comes across some good natural rememdies please let me know I'm currently searching google now.
