Got my tmj orthotics update

Worn constantly. Night one, day one

the number of headaches for me. I was also amazed that after using it a few weeks, the occasional ringing in my ears, tinnitus, has disappeared! Wishing you well with your new device; keep us posted.

I've had it about 5 days. I had some eat ringing yesterday. The popping stopped. I just dread the supportive dental work
