That's not for everyone. I tried it for many months, and it made my condition worse and worse. Expensive appliance molded by my dentist, he even re molded when I complained it rocked a little, and then again gave me a different tech.

All for nothing. Splint, or mouth guard in North America, caused me to develop daytime bruxism and it moved my teeth in such a way that my back teeth didn't touch firmly, which my brain wanted to resolve by biting harder.

If it's my enamel or my TMJ, I guess I picked my TMJ. Grinding with the splint made my jaw hurt more.
