Several years ago I was diagnosed with having TMJ.  My dentist had a mouth guard made for me that I had to wear at night.  It really helped my jaw not to hurt as much.  The basic reason for my TMJ is that I grind my teeth and clench my teeth together all of the time.

I stopped wearing the mouth guard for a while and my jaw started to hurt again.  But since I had not worn it for a while my teeth had shifted a bit and it no longer fit me.  Without any insurance it’s just too expensive to have a mouth guard made again.  So, when I was asked to review the Dentek dental mouth guard I was excited to try it out!

I wore the mouth guard for one night and in the morning my jaw felt much better!!  My only complaint is that having the mouth guard in my mouth made me feel like gagging.  I have a sensitive gag reflex so it doesn’t take much to make me gag.  I was able to sleep with it in just fine, but when I woke up I had to take it out right away to keep from gagging. Overall I think it’s worth giving it a try- much cheaper and easier than having your dentist make one.
