I have unrelenting sleep bruxism that has cause a lot of TMJ issues and pain. My main symptoms were debilitating 6-7/10 pain on a daily basis, exhaustion, tension headaches, difficulty focusing, severe tightness in my neck, shoulders, and jaw that caused pain throughout my body, tinnitus and swishing sound, ear fullness, and lightheadedness. I was unable to function normally due to the chronic pain and related issues.
I got a custom night guard/splint that lessened my symptoms drastically. I have been wearing it nightly for about 6 years and have been able to function normally because it. My pain is usually closer to a 1-3/10. I still have regular muscle tension in my neck, jaw, and shoulder, but have been able to live a very active lifestyle (climbing, mountain biking, snowboarding, etc.). While it didn’t fix things 100%, it helped immensely and allowed me to live a mostly normal life.
I have recently been doing more research and am hoping to work with an orthodontist/dentist to develop a long term solution that doesn’t require me to wear a splint every night, but until then the splint has been essential to my well being. If I don’t wear it for a night, I wake up in pain with the same symptoms as before that take about a week to recover from. If you are afraid of the cost associated with a professional night guard, they have soft mouth guards on Amazon for about $15. From my experience these can help a lot as well:
