Hey all. New here. This is my second post. Side note I have 3 crowns in the back molars and am getting a 4th crown on the other back molar. Very anxious but I have a separate thread for all that. I also have tmj issues in the result of popping/crackling for the last yr. No pain. I think it is cause by a bit of a deep bite, jaw dislocation in college, and teeth grinding every now and then while sleeping. I think this only occurs when I am stressed which I really am right now.
Just got a small night guard for upper teeth. Have used it for 2 nights. I think it is actually helping relieve tension in my jaw. My only question is related to how tight it is. I am getting more and more used to it but I still have a bit of concern in how tight it is. My dentist spent a long time getting it to fit just right so he wasn't careless at all. I think I am only really concerned because it is tight on my front two teeth. One of those had an abscess a little over a year ago and RCT. The other one is fine but I fear it will eventually succumb to RCT on it eventually given my overbite and history of nail biting (which I'm stopping now).
Anyways hopes that makes sense. Appreciate wisdom from anyone who has had a night guard.
