I have bruxism since I was about 5 - anxiety problems. I used to grinde my teeth, but now my main problem is clenching. My jaw is very tense and I haven't found a solution yet. I wanted to ask if a nightguard would help specifically for clenching? I need to get rid of it because I'm going to be wearing braces soon. My dentist told me that my temporomandibular joint is in terrible condition. I need to put on braces, but right now my temporomandibular joint is to weak for them. Will the nightguard actually help?

I'm asking because it costs $210...

And yes, I've already tried the diy ones. They didn't work, or atleast not enough. At this point I am willing to pay it if it cures me.

Hi. I quit smoking in jan 2025. It wasn't easy but I did it.

Recently I've had a few cigarrets and I felt normal, I thought that I won't be craving them again. But I was wrong.

Now all I think about is smoking. I'm even going for a pack rn.

I feel like shit, like a loser.

My mom and my grandma had cancer. Every time I smoke I'm scared that I'll end up like them. I can't stop tho.

I mean, I can, I did it once - but the crave is so hard this time.
