Grinding Teeth
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

Is anyone else grinding their teeth? My bottom teeth hurt so bad from the grinding and my jaw is so sore. I am doing this during the day and not at night. I am taking Alprazolam ER 0.5mg 4 times a day. Helps some days more than others. I do 70g of Amovig and Botox injections.

I do when the pain is bad. Doesn't matter time of day

It is helping. My headaches are not as severe as before taking it. And it has cut the number of headaches I get. As long as I can get it for 5.00 a shot I will keep taking it.

How is Aimovig working for you? I take 140 double dose. Had 4 free days first month than over 8 next, the 3 rd month one day now migraine?

I do it all day and night. If I catch myself doing it I relax my jaw, but I had to get a night guard to save my teeth. It also reduces the stress on your TMJ joint in your jaw which can also cause headaches. You can wear them during the day. You can have a dentist make one or you can buy one at Wal-Mart. They are clear plastic so people won't know you're wearing them. ( I'm a retired dental assistant)

I grind my teeth horribly. Most of the time I don't realize it, and when I do it takes alot of focus to stop. It's worse at night. I've tried guards bit they make it hard to sleep for me & aren't practical for day use so mostly just deal with it. However be careful... It can lead to damage to your teeth. It definitely doesn't help tmj. It gets worse as the migraine pain does. Good luck
