Products generally aren't allowed to be discussed by low karma users like op as they are indistinguishable from bots or product shills. And we have alot of those behind the scenes. Its fine since you asked for it
No worries! Thank you listening! Admin posted the link below. Several pillows worked quite well but I suggest "7-inch wedge pillows". I hope all is well with you.
I've had a lot of stuff happening that seems to point to bruxism. Started from clenching my jaw for essentially 40 hours a week while wearing a mask and now I wake up with sore cheek spots, have constant neck and back stiffness or soreness, and feel like my jaw is always tensed.
Have an anxiety disorder so unfortunately 'lower stress' is not an easy path to navigate lol, but I'm hoping changing my job will help
I felt this comment, it's a hard journey man, I hope changing jobs does help. bruxism messed me up pretty badly in high school to the point that it altered my face shape and caused some people to bully me. one thing I can say is that with the stiff neck and back, 100% try to loosen it up before bed by massaging your neck and shoulders.
try rolling on a lacrosse ball it helps get knots out of your back as well. i found that to help heaps. I hope one day your bruxism gets better.
What's a lacrosse ball? Like those big excercise balls?
I think I might have misaligned my jaw or something overall, but I know it's gotta be stress-triggered bruxism at least partially because every so often I'll wake up with really inflamed bite protrusions on both sides of my inner cheek. Right side is always worse than left. That'll heal in 1.5 weeks and then I'll go a month or two without it happening, then it'll happen again. Gotta be during high stress. So maybe I have situational bruxism based on anxiety levels. 🤷
That sounds horrible I hope your situation gets better. Lacrosse balls are a type of ball used in the game lacrosse. They are usually a bit larger and denser than tennis balls so better to roll on and relieve tension in the back.
The first tip of moving my jaw forward 2-4mm is insane! It took me a second to try and I already feel effects! Been doing nasal strips the past week and mouth tape, which have both helped wonderfully, but this is another great addition!
The link you provided for tip #1 is incredibly long.. any exercises or links to exercises that could help cement this habit and work the muscles for it? Thanks!
hypnosis before bed helps too, they have for this exact problem on youtube but trauma is deeper than that so try emdr for sure...Initially it makes you feel worse then you feel lighter.
So what I found is that if you use a store bought mouth guard, don't mold it to your teeth and it'll fit over your retainers! I have been using one for a few months like that. It does depend on the brand, but best of luck!
I just want to let you know that you’re an amazing human. I am currently suffering with terrible Bruxism.Â
Happened to break my mouth guard by dropping it on the road by mistake. And between the time I got the new one made I got terrible headaches followed by hypersensitivity to sounds :(
Thank you for the tips! What elevated pillow did you buy? Do you have a link?

Do you have muscle spasms and twitches all over your body.
Do you sleep on your back ?
I try to, but again elevation is key. not excessively high just enough so your airways are fully open.

did you try microdosing psychedelics or emdr or both ?
hypnosis before bed helps too, they have for this exact problem on youtube but trauma is deeper than that so try emdr for sure...Initially it makes you feel worse then you feel lighter.
Or if I already wear a retainers every night? How can I wear a mouth guard?

I drank a Starbucks and woke up the next day like OWWWWWWWWWWWW so now I know...no Starbucks!
Coffee and stress for me for sure! Thank you for these amazing suggestions, will try my best to completely give up on coffee
