For a while my jaw on one side has clicked really badly when I fully open my mouth. This is due to me clenching my jaw at night (often its also to do with teeth-grinding in your sleep but I just do the clenching).
My dentist has been keeping an eye on it and as it wasn't getting better has made me a dental night guard just to use overnight to break the habit.
The first couple of nights I took it out after 10 minutes as I was just so conscious of it as it felt strange. The last 2 nights I've managed to go off to sleep with it in but have taken it out when I've woken at about 4am.
I just wondered if anyone else has had one and want to ask if it worked? Also how long did it take you to get used to it?

Does anyone use a dental nightguard?
