Yesterday we drove to see the oral specialist again. My bite guard came in so I had to try it to make sure it fits right. They also said my xrays look normal so as far as they can tell the pain in my jaw is caused by clenching which is caused by stress. (Stress? What stress?!?) I tried it out early evening last night when I caught myself clenching. I have to place it in hot water for a few minutes so it softens up and then place it on my lower teeth. It was rough. Every time I tried to talk I gagged! As long as I didn't talk I was fine. And I slept with it all night, without a problem. When I woke up this morning my jaw was not sore like it usually is. So it looks like it is working! I have to go back to the oral specialist at the end of June to see how it has been working.
