RE: Subject:bruxism

Follow-Up: I am 25 and have had nocturnal bruxism since childhood. This has caused major TMJ damage which has resulted in having surgury. The surgury has caused a severe deterioration in my TMJ disorder (they failed to tell me of the low 60% success rate). Over the past 10 years I have tried splints, physiotherapy and am currently doing relaxation techniques as stress seems to be a major cause of my bruxism. I live on pain killers and I am very interested in this device that wakes a bruxer during sleep but have never been aware of its existence. I would like to know more, and of any other experiences.
