bruxism

[jedijim]

My teeth were getting sensitive and my dentist said I might have bruxism. I HATE wearing a mouthguard - does anyone know whether some of the alternative therapies work? This one at least has a money back guarantee, but I'd still like to hear from someone who has had some success beating this thing. Thanks.

Did you by chance ask your doctor about it? Hopefully he would know. And, if that alternative worked, it would be mainstream

One thing that helped my wife, was cutting down on caffeine.
Teeth grinding has a lot to do with stress.

I have bruxism too and the sad thing is that it is not covered by my insurance (most insurance won't cover it). I was told that the other option is to do the surgery but they would do that only if the doc find that your jaws are not aligned properly. Now, i am wearing the mouthguard nightly. Not the most pleasant thing but well, i need it.

Train your body not to do it. Install two contacts one on the upper jaw one on the lower. Hook them up to a 9-volt battery at night. When you bite down to grind your teeth it will shock you and wake you up. The hope is that eventually it will stop. If the 9-volt battery does not work, try a 12-volt car battery. Be sure to use large gauge cables with the car battery so you get the full high amperage discharge effect.





















I am only kidding of course.

It really doesn't matter in which forum this is/was posted.

I can definitely see where this qualifies as a valid first post on an audio site. ...I can also see the sun rise in the west.

Never heard it called bruxism...

I am a clincher, not a grinder and my dentist had a couple options for this.

The standard approach was mouth guard, and that's what I use.

Next was basically grinding the back teeth down in a way that prevents you from clinching and or grinding. This was quite expensive but was said to be the one time fix that works forever.

Last was just prescribing muscle relaxants. May or may not help, works best on the occasional clincher or grinder.

Mark, you've ruined it for me.
I was about to post a few questions about a rash that I have.
Got pictures too....

Do you suggest Belden or Canare, 14 gauge, or perhaps 18 is good enough?
Any DBT?

Wouldn't it just be easier to plug an appliance into the outlet and start chewing on the cord? And if you did it while lying in a comfortable warm water bath it could be quite soothing............just a thought.


Not recommended for those with heart conditions, asthma, swollen prostates or if pregnant. May cause dizziness, dryness of the mouth, frequent need to urinate, convulsions and in most instances terminal death. Seek the advice of your physician.
