I use a night guard (plastic one that I buy at drugstore) AIFG, if you can believe it. I wake up without the clenched-jaw headache o' doom. It took a little getting used to, but now I can't sleep without it - even when I nap! It does look weird, though. Like a squirrel hiding nuts.

Spike's Bitches 33: Weeping, crawling, blaming everybody else
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

The status is NOT quo.
Thanks, GC (and Lee and Hil and everyone for their insights). I think I may go for the softer one, at least at first. This one is custom made (not sure if it's over my front teeth or not) so probably will be more comfortable than I think, and I am looking forward to not waking up with a sore jaw.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I think which teeth it covers depends on which teeth you grind, Kristin, but they really aren't uncomfortable, especially after the first couple of days.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I used one for a while Kristin and it made a big difference. I don't wear it any more (no clue where it is), but I don't grind my teeth any more.
I need 200 more words for my essay and I have already covered the assigned material. I hate fluffing essays.

Ah, that makes sense. I have an overbite, so I probably grind them all. I know she was worried about my back molars, but I think I also have sore bottom front teeth, too. I believe you and am going to cross my fingers that I get used to it quickly. Looks like my insurance covers 80%, so I should only be out about $60 for my copay. Not too bad, all things considered. It's just been an incredibly expensive month,so every expense is starting to make me cringe. But...no more achy teeth! This is a good possibility.

I told you it was an incredibly expensive month.

Well obviously. I thought you wanted to know about the alcohol?
Oh, wait, there's alcohol? I couldn't possibly...

Alas, the thing that the Breakfast with Santa *really* needed, IMO, was ND's punch for the parents. Mal's reaction to the horror that is Santa Claus: [link]
