TMJ night guard: Please see your dentist for a personally fitted night guard if you are using an over the counter one. Consider biofeedback treatment from a clinical psychologist to learn how to relax the muscles involved. Peace and good health.

Adjustment: A custom made night guard may need adjustment. An OTC product is usually inefficient Ipolite term for worthless). Please see you Dentist. You may require more than just a night guard to address your jaw joint dysfunction.
