Every. Single. Day.

Yeah, if you replace "clenched jaw" with "entire life has been a complete waste of time and effort and you've done nothing that matters".
NonstopRampage
Why do I feel personally attacked by this?
storknivarn
Wait, you're supposed to unclench your jaw?
poppygosh
It’s a place trauma is stored in the body. The jaw muscles are connected to the palate and eye muscles. Fixated eye muscles happen in 1/?
poppygosh
..stressful situations. When angry/afraid the muscles tense and the jaw muscles are part of that. Trauma is tension locked in the body 2/?
poppygosh
..that hasn’t been released/expressed. Recommendation is to massage the jaw and relax it. Let yourself completely relax it. I conk out.
IndiePixels
Oh good, so it isn’t just me!
slinkiisu
My jaw hinge has started hurting when I bite down because I clench super hard in my sleep
millenniumf
Well, more like the last 4...
MrNom
If you have this problem, as I do, I strongly advise you to buy one of those soft plastic mouth pieces and wear em to sleep at least 1/2
Tehdastehdas
1/2 nights. 2/2
ILikeCuteGifsAndICannotLie
Bruh I wear one during the day too. I just had it fixed because I cracked it
MrNom
I was diagnosed by multiple specialists "chronic migraine" turns out it the problem was in my mouth.
phantazmagoric9000
If you go to a dental school you can get a custom one for ~$200

I recently got 4 fillings and I’ve come to that conclusion on account of the serious pain i get not when I’m stressed
theMechatronicsEngineer
I recommend these guys for that! https://youtu.be/QwhD5UTUW60 Also: their intro is awesome.
Shawnthegirl
Had a Super Karen at work, when I got in my car, hours later, moved my jaw and the loudest pop i ever heard happened. Relax your jaw!
Slamtastik
Literally yes, and it gave me bad ear problems and it took me forever to figure out that was the cause
TheAnswerWasAlwaysMoreLube
Tinnitus?
Slamtastik
sometimes, but mostly just pain, and that feeling that im on a plane
TheAnswerWasAlwaysMoreLube
Oh. Hard to think straight like that.
AgentPothead
15? Oh sweet child.
bthetrees
I took a look around and I couldn’t believe this
hsyrnyk
I have to constantly remind myself to not clench. I have actually bitten through several bite guards
FroxyMan
Every day, I tune into mindful physical presence, each time the jaw drops, feels so good, almost orgasmic.
chitownrising
Slightly more expensive than a mouthguard, but I started Botox therapy two years ago and it solved all of my TMJ and grinding issues.
grumpycatreincarnated
I heard of this as an option and have been meaning research further. How expensive was it if I may ask?
chitownrising
First time is about $600. You can use HSA but not insurance. Each 6 month visit after that is less (as the muscle weakens).
grumpycatreincarnated
Thanks! That’s less than I expected at least. Was thinking twice that. I may need to try it!
neckingduringschindlerslist
Really... tell me more.
chitownrising
I’m a big fan. It hurts a bit at the time of injection, but no pain after and the results aren’t immediate. You won’t be drooling. Stopped
chitownrising
my clenching and grinding after two visits. First visit is about $600 but as the muscle weakens it’s much cheaper and could even be annual.
chitownrising
Either way, much cheaper than an implant.
neckingduringschindlerslist
Huh. I’d never heard of Botox for that. Thanks.
sweepyd
Dots for me and the others...tired of fking TMJ
MsHoneybadger
Thanks! Reminded me to wear my mouth guard tonight
balover1996
Can you recommend a decent one?
MsHoneybadger
I have one made by my dentist but also like the Plackers Grind No More
balover1996
Cool beans, thanks a bunch! I’ve got a lot of work to get done, I’m gonna see if my next dentist can make me one! Thank you!
coldcallmemaybe
Ditto!!!
Myshaele
My dentist told me that I need one of those because of my torn jaw muscle. Wish it was remotely affordable!
HoneyBunchesOfOatMilk
Check Amazon, I just ordered one from there that was a fraction of the cost of a dentist one. You take an impression and mail it to them (1)
HoneyBunchesOfOatMilk
The company is JS Dental. They have great customer service too!
Myshaele
I'll take a look! Thanks a lot for the advice!
HoneyBunchesOfOatMilk
You’re welcome, I hope it helps!
umbrellamaker
Yes I too have a bruxism
DoctorRobotMD
I didn't realize how constantly on-edge I was until my dentist asked me if I was alright...
Bojack8
Mine just tore out my teeth without informing me that my jaw was malformed due to clamping down
mentallychallengeaccepted
Have you tried massage? Feelsgoodman. Helpsalot. Lessenstheheadaches
youlooklikehalfabuttpuppet
Mine told me I had bodybuilder jaw muscles. Unfortunately, they’re the only ones I have of that quality.
jesuisgur
And they get them like that because of steroids.
Nuttsy
Bet you can go ham on a salami sandwich, though.
youlooklikehalfabuttpuppet
...maybe.
InfinitusEquitas
There are lots of us. If it wasn't for my shitty teeth I could probably chew diamonds
BendOverAndIllShowYa
Look up LVI dentist in your area. Life changing for TMJ issues!!!!
mixel08
I have TMJ syndrome and they said their is nothing that can be done. I go to physio but it doesnt really do anything :/
BendOverAndIllShowYa
I had this problem for over ten years with awful debilitating pain. PM me if you want details. It’s been a life changer for me.
justarocknroller
I used to date a girl who ground her teeth in her sleep. Only way to get her to stop was to stroke her hair by her right temple.
Rkfinecake
Wouldn't a shove and mumbling "rllovr" have the same effect?

Stroking himself by her right temple.
Ingenveddetmedsikkerhed
It can be a sign of mental issues like stress
mackinskor
Thank you, an ex gf many years ago would do the same to me (I have no memory of it, as I was asleep, but she told me)

That is so sweet.
justarocknroller
That it may be, but it was just about the only way I could get any sleep. Although, after she left, I had insomnia without the sound.
Veraatje01
Funny how sounds can be so annoying yet missed so badly once gone. I miss my SO's snoring sometimes.
justarocknroller
Didn't dr kelso say something about that on Scrubs?
youlooklikehalfabuttpuppet
The snoring struggle is real. I used to just kick the end of the bed until he woke up, but that caused issues. Now I sleep in the guest room
tyrfin
Yeah? I used to date a girl who had to have her bellybutton fingered to orgasm
Limitedbynonononono
LOL, you what....love it !!!
justarocknroller
Dang, I seen and done some weird shit in my day, but never that. I doff my imaginary cap to you, friend.
tyrfin
Right? I never encountered that particular fetish again either and I've been with some specimens
UVAChemE2013
But how would you know if you were also sleeping? She just needs to wear a mouth guard.
neckingduringschindlerslist
I ground right thru my night guard. What the fuck, jaw?
UVAChemE2013
You’re not going to grind through a mouth guard in one night. Get new ones when the old ones are getting low. Cheaper than fixing teeth.
justarocknroller
Sleeping can be difficult when your partner in that endeavor sounds like a malfunctioning garbage disposal.
UVAChemE2013
My pit snores louder than a freight train and I sleep like a rock right next time him nightly
UVAChemE2013
And grinding your teeth really isn’t that loud at all, not compared to snoring.
justarocknroller
At least snoring can have a rhythm to it, this was staccato cracks and snaps like a drunk stumbling through dry brush
LlamaFan
yeah, fractured a molar in my sleep.
deaddogsmuggler
Did he go in dry?
Predicto
Get a dentist to make you a mouthguard. Not only does it save your teeth, but it stopped the daily headaches I had suffered for years
UnagiFerrin
It's how I would know if it was okay to sneak about the house at night because my mom would grind her teeth in her sleep.
DouglasPouchOfHolding
Same, but a canine. It went flying off somewhere in the room and left a crescent moon-shaped indent. Wtf, teeth.
IHaveUnpopularOpinions
Same happened to my SO, fractured into several pieces which the dentist had to partially suction away. Apparently fixed it pretty well, tho
Galaktia
Back left molar for me, :D cracked it on the walk back from work, didn't even realise I was clenching :) now I realise it but can't stop
GrosseChung
My dad does the same thing, and he’s kept this retainer to protect his teeth for ages, and it hasn’t every fitted properly.
noobmcnooberson
Yea I have one molar left on the top unbroken. rest are at the gums. the only reason it's still there is my bottom one broke instead.
9thdimensionalhiplo
I dated a girl who would grind her teeth in her sleep I swear they were gonna shatter n crumble. Scary
comette
I did both of these even with a guard...*sigh
itisanimgurnaccount
... Stick... Stick your oh wait no hold up
Katz00
I used to do that in my sleep when my anxiety was bad. Not so much anymore thank goodness.
NotABadLookingNarcissist
I just needed a root canal from a cracked tooth from grinding. Cold and hot sensitive, couldn’t bite down. F’n sux. Feels fine now tho.
Drasham
I've shattered four teeth this way
Blud4BludGod
I cracked one so bad that it exposed the nerve. Had to have a root canal. Also chipped off the entire face of another one, got a veneer now.
superfeathers
My bottom molars "buckled" from me clenching all the time, and now I have exposed teeth roots. Can't remember the exact term for the bucklin
Exoticwhitebread6
Stress fracture?
superfeathers
No that's not it....
secondgoaround
I have this. Have him line fillings on both sides.
secondgoaround
Gum line. Jeebus.
toomanymemesandnotenoughmemeory
I grind at night til I was told about a nighttime bite guard and now my teeth are no longer sensitive to cold foods.
tonightiknow8
That sounds like the script for a bite guard commercial
toomanymemesandnotenoughmemeory
You never know...
BrazilianThunderPanda
Me too. I’ve cracked a couple. You know you’re getting old when you have multiple pieces of safety equipment for sleeping.
LlamaFan
Had a guard made at the dentists, which I take out while asleep and toss to the floor apparently.
youlooklikehalfabuttpuppet
Same. I just gave up on mine.
toomanymemesandnotenoughmemeory
Well stop being a spitter ?
4n6scientist
I do this too! I also just keep grinding away at the guard itself. Totally floored my dentist since I was the first person that couldn't 1/
4n6scientist
Stop grinding. He ended up having to add on to the guard every 6-12 months to replace what I ground through
toomanymemesandnotenoughmemeory
I still grind,it just helps protect my teeth.Found1 @the dollar store that works well&bought a few.Once its worn down I trash it&use another
