Who here gets ear symptoms? Tinnitus, ear pressure, dizziness and sensitivity to sound? Soon I will be getting an orthotic and I am just praying that it helps these symptoms reduce. My face muscles feel very tight

I had a night guard made in October 2020 and now it has a hole on April 30, 2021. The dentist told me that this guard should last me two years but it never did. The dentist underestimate my grinding . So now I am stuck with a night guard that has a hole and can’t afford to replace it . So sad. Still using this guard with the hole.

Mouthguard protect your jaw so you dont get it broke so easy .. i have no teeth. The need for mouth guard or i will chew on my tongue while i sleep and in a sparring session or fight its a must.!

Mouthguards destroy sleep. Ive read that bruxism is caused by a vitamin definciency.

My dentist gave me a nightguard for my teeth clenching. Then the nightguard CAUSED my jaw locking and tmj! :(

Can I use a mouth guard if I sometimes have my mouth open when I sleep? Sometimes I'm stressed and grinding and sometimes it's open.

I just broke mine. It was from a TMJ specialist. Paid $1200. They're now $1600. I clinch bad a night. He did send me to a therapist for mental health. I've been there, done that. I can't come back to him. I moved out of state. Can i glue mine? I think i can get it glued correctly. Can i replace it, with one online?

I have tmj pain at right side
Initially I can't understood the pain where
I feel the pain in the ear so I go to the ENT specialist he said no infection no ear problem ear is clear
After some day I recognize the pain position is inside the tmj instead of ear
So I go to the dentist he suggested me to eat slowy, give rest to jaw
But after 15 Day Tmj pain at right side and also cliking and poping sound at left TMJ
And now I have both side tmj disorder
Due to tmj disorder my nekh and head also pain
So
My question is how I can realize this tmj pain totally and how I can avoid this clicking totally

My new hard occlusal splint is causing me upper right jaw pain that I never had before when going from a soft one to a hard one. I’m very frustrated because I had never had jaw pain before just clenching teeth at night.

Informative, but how do you establish a neutral position for jaws?

Hello doc.. I first felt this problem 2years back and it was not that severe.. But about 7mths back my face swole as i started chewing gum daily.. I consulted dentist and got relaxant and antiinflammatory and it subsided.. Now just 7days ago i started realising that my upper and lower jaw have been closing too forcefully and it felt so heavy and 2days later my right side swole all of sudden.. I consulted the dentist he gave me relaxant and antiinflammatory and advised for follow up after two days.. The swelling didnt go so i visited and got low dose intra articular steroid injection yesterday.. But the problem doesnot seems to be going or is it too early to judge.. My face swelling has not gone.. I feel spasm all over my cheeks.. There is pain over my jaw.. Clicking jaw is something i have been experiencing from two years.. What do i do?
