Havent worn tmj night guard because i had braces. unable to get new guard from dentist for a month.jaw pain has been bad. what will help?not nsaids

Review: Have your specialist Orthodontist or treating General Dentist review your occlusion to make sure there are no prematuraties/interferences. Discuss anti-inflammatories. Discuss temporary night guard, such as sports mouth guard, as teeth settle in.
