Tooth Grinding Support Group

I am just new here and I have thesame question too..tho' as of now I just use scoop...lol..and colgate for sensitivity teeth...and I would like to go to dentist too if what he could suggest. I am very interested what other's input in this topic. Sorry not much help...but glad you ask that...hugs

I got one called docter mouth guard you put it in boiling water and then in cold for a sec put it in ur mouth and it shapes to ur teeth.. it falls out witch sucks but.once it fall's out I am so use to if now I wake up..normal its nice sat on my pillow ..odd

I bought the one like meme said, and it worked okay but it was bulky. The ones made by my dentists are much more compact and they fit better. I actually got a new one today, because I broke the last one.

I need one but im worried I will choke on it in my sleep.

there made so u wont choke.. ya my mouthguard. is abit better now I got a size smaller.. I want to get a new one..cuz the head echs stopped for awhile but now there back.. I have been biteing down really hard in my sleep lately but the mouthguard dosent fall out since i got a smaller size

I use a mouthguard that only goes over my two front teeth. It was originally designed for people who suffered from migraines but has been amazing for me for tooth grinding. I got it from my dentist and it was costly (>$400) but it is extremely comfortable to wear at night and it has fixed my problem of grinding. In addition it has made my headaches and muscle tension in my neck and back disappear. It is amazing how much grinding can effect your entire body, let alone your ability to get a good nights sleep!

Check out the website or ask your dentist about it:

If you talk to your dentist, he/she can make the mouth guard so it fits perfectly in your mouth so it doesn't fall out or so you don't choke on it. Mine I know couldn't choke me b/c of the way it fits in my mouth. Talk to your detist!

i had the nti inventor make me one of those,but it hurt my jaw much worse, id wake up just clamped onto the thing so hard my ears would scream for days. i wake up with the neck headache every day!!!!....i wish it wouldve worked for me.

i just wanted to update this, i went back to the NTI and for whatever reason, all my symptoms inluding headache have been improving, i think when i had first tried it, it was too soon after my tmj injury.

I use a normal mouth guard made of a thick sheet of plastic and it was custom made by my dentist after taking a cast of my mouth. I first used one that fitted on both upper and lower teeth but now I wear only the upper one. A custom fitted mouth guard can never fall off or choke you I guess. Very rare it can do so as it fist very tightly.
