In reply to Teeth Grinding on Lex., posted by Suzy on August 18, 2003, at 18:37:59

> Have been on Lex for about 9 months. Started on 10 and then went down to 5. Just recently "about 3 weeks ago" I went back up to 10. Didn't seem to be having problems. Actually felt better. But I do put a lot of pressure on my teeth by clinching my mouth closed. Has anyone else noticed this and is there anything that can be done. My upper teeth are actually sore.

I also have the teeth grinding or jaw clenching from the Lex. I mentioned it to the dentist, requesting an appliance to wear at night and she suggested stress relief or relaxation exercizes and/or a glass of wine. Since a glass would not be enough for this old lush, I went out and bought myself something called The dentist's Night Guard. It cost around $20 at WalMart and you fit it to yourself. It has helped me condiderably after just a few days. My jaws no longer hurt all day and I feel as if my teeth are being spared some from all that pressure. It was not really difficult to get used to either, though the first night I woke up sleeping on it. He He He! Best of luck and let me know how it goes.
