Got my tmj orthotics update

Worn constantly. Night one, day one

Edit bite force and placement within normal limits wearing the orthotic. Hoping the restorative dentalwork doesn't bankrupt me

These are to pull my jaw into correct alignment due to tmj. My regular nightguard was making it worse

the number of headaches for me. I was also amazed that after using it a few weeks, the occasional ringing in my ears, tinnitus, has disappeared! Wishing you well with your new device; keep us posted.

I've had it about 5 days. I had some eat ringing yesterday. The popping stopped. I just dread the supportive dental work
