I have a nightguard but don’t wear it anymore, I have a habit of waking up in the middle of the night to take it out and usually wake up on top of it, I’m allergic to muscle relaxers because I have epilepsy (lowers seizure threshold/risky for me), it feels like my only option is pain meds on occasion for it

I fear the only thing that helped me was wearing my clunky retainer from after I got my braces off

Also for anyone simply reading this I am probably going to get Botox injections every few months for the pain, there’s also nerve blocks and permanent nerve burn offs I believe but we’ll see. I luckily have family working in pain management so I can hopefully get in sooner rather than later to get more help with it
