" I am going to break down and pay the money for the bite splint too. my insurance doesn't cover it- so I put it off. I REALLY need it- so I just made the appointment. I did get a cheap one- but it started makeing things worse. The doctor said it was a bad idea for me to get the cheap one since my case is so severe. I am in so much pain all the time- massage worked great for me, but now its time to get my bite straightend out and stop clenching my teeth. good luck to you:)
