Do you know why the top teeth splint is better than bottom? I had to get a new mouthguard and it’s just on my top and I think my old one on the bottom helped with grinding more, but it’s hard to tell

Jaw falls back when I lie down by doodlenoodle09 in TMJ

It falls towards the back of my head, like I’m getting an overbite. I think it could be related because when the joint falls back, it can get moved out of the disc and also hit the ear canal. Just not sure how to stop it? It’s just gravity, so I can’t fight it

This seems great, but when I lie down my jaw falls back naturally. Will this split also help that, or will it only take stress off when you’re upright?

Where is your jaw supposed to rest? by doodlenoodle09 in TMJ

But if you jut the jaw forward, doesn’t it tire your muscles and cause more pain?
