zipi, I had this. Emma is quite right. The dentist gave me a mouth guard thinggy, not very atractive, but it did the job. I'm fine now.

Oh, adn you only have to wear it at night!

Oh I have had this for years. Occasionally it gets worse and feels unaligned the entire time rather than when I just open wide. I will ask the dentist about bracey things next time I go.
