Yes. I have this still on at night. I would have one of my dentist. Its much more comfortable than that one from the health store. Its the money worth because you can develop arthrosis if you dont do something.
The dentist can make you a mouthguard. It costs about $200. Or you could try a mouth guard for bruxism from the drug store for about $10.

I get headaches, which I believe are caused by it. And my teeth are not made of steel... I broke a tooth some years ago due to bruxism (non-medication related), so I'd like to avoid it if possible.
