Hi!
Due to bruxism since Feb 2013 by teeth are very short now, especially the back ones like wisdom and molars. I've tried various mouth guards but not dentist molded hard ones. With the guards I tried I've still been grinding teeth down due to the friction I think.
My top and bottom teeth still touch when chewing though, because my top jaw is much closer to bottom jaw now, so less airspace and tongue space. The muscles at the back of wisdom teeth are very tight, probably because they brought the jaw closer together to allow chewing.
I also feel fullness in ears sometimes but so far no pain. Can open mouth ok. I think My face and forhead moved forward. My head leans forward on neck.
So what do I do? Thanks!!!
P.S. I am in Toronto. There are several TMJ dentists here, anyone have any recommendations?
