stop clenching my jaw
Untitled

I’ve been clenching my jaw a lot lately, and when I woke up this morning I couldn’t open my mouth all the way. Usually when I’m eating my jaw starts making popping noises, too. My orthodontist says it’s probably from stress. I’m already on my second retainer (I chewed holes in the first one), so I don’t know if wearing a mouth guard would work or not…

Same here!

This happens to be most nights – I have learnt how to put it back into place!

But, it did stay locked for two days once, I could only eat squashed food and drimk with a straw!

It is worse when I am stressed.

It happens to me at nights, too. It also takes me awhile to eat stuff because I have to squish it or cut it up into smaller pieces. It’s a little bit better today though. I’ve been putting my tongue between my teeth so my teeth don’t grind against each other either.
