If you suffer from daily headaches, it could be due to grinding. Wearing a night guard can make a huge difference.

[omg]

I Got mine today after holding off on them for years after my dentist kept recommending them and they are awesome! Could not be happier with them!

This video was informative, entertaining and in my personal opinion perfectly paced I usually rewind videos to solidify information anyway but the speed made it suck so much less. Great video 10/10

I was one of the people that thought I would never get used to using my night guard, wrong.. I got used to it fairly quickly and use it every night now.

Thanks doc! I wasn't sure if i needed to pay for the custom dentist job but now understand the flat bottom/custom grind guard is a critical point of difference vs. my existing soft moulds i had made a few years back. Huge help!

[katiestarns]

i know that im super stressed out when i wake myself up grinding my teeth

[AfsanehYouTube]

Thank you. I loved learning about the advantages of the "flat bottom" of the night guards!

[djs]

I really like the way you talk fast with so much details and still i can understand all of it.
Thank you.😄

I just got my first ever night guard today. Very excited to not having jaw pain tomorrow morning! 😂

Hi, i am very thankful to you from Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬. It's so useful for me with English subtitles 😄

I'm currently waiting for my custom night guard. I can't wait! I wake up with headaches, jaw pain, tooth pain, even some sensitivity. He is sure all of these will resolve with the night guard. 🌙 🙏

[tripperstars]

I've done this ever since I was a kid(31 now) I'm so glad I finally got mine!

[youtubechannel]

Thanks for bring up the root causes of clenching/grinding! It feels like prevention is often overlooked. Great video!

[waltham]

Really good honest information here. Thank you

[steveo]

Thank you for this video. I got one because of it and though it's taking time to get used to...my headaches and jaw pain are easing

[desurfer]

My advice- if at all possible, get one from the dentist, everything she said is 100% on point. I stopped wearing mine for a while and fractured a tooth. I am now looking at $$$ for an implant and yes I have gone back to wearing my night guard from my dentist. Well worth the money. I’ve tried over the counter ones and there is no comparison. The one from my dentist snaps in and is part of my nightly routine….save your teeth and in the long run lots of money, time and hassle - just get it and wear it.

I can't sleep without mine. And when i nap without it I wake up with a headache

Had my 6 month dental 🦷 check up today and found out my insurance now will cover for my custom made mouth guard. I was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea a few years ago. My teeth grinding has gotten progressively worst though out the years to the point my jaw starts to hurt during the day because of my teeth grinding during the daytime which I have no idea I’m doing it until I start feeling the pain. I’m hoping this new mouth guard will help me with my sleep apnea and snoring. I know will be happy because I drive her crazy @ night snoring.

I’ve had my night guard for about 5 yrs, this is my third night wearing them. I’m stubborn. This is a 2024 goals 🙌🏾

Thank you so much for making this video. I didn’t get a mouth guard at my dentist because I heard other people saying that it came out at night while sleeping and because of the cost — I didn’t want to pay for something that was going to be ineffective. My solution was to treat the root cause stress and anxiety by eliminating caffeine and taking unfortified nutritional yeast for natural vitamin B and take vitamin D3 before bed. That has helped but now I’m realizing that I need to implement more lifestyle changes — slow down do less even if that means being less productive. I watched a few YouTube videos that gave me relief from popping and clicking in my jaw and relaxed my jaw muscles using acupressure, message and jaw exercises. I just bought a night guard online that I take an impression of my teeth then the impression gets sent to a lab and molded then shipped back to me for less than $120. I’m hoping that this night guard is comfort, protects my teeth and reduces clinching.
