[QUOTE="Star*, post: 82450, member: 4964"] Dear Chomper: (true) story Once upon my life, I grinded my teeth. I've ground them so badly that I've had to have the teeth on the other side of my mouth ground down to give me back an even bite. When DF had back surgery they gave him a tenz unit. It's a harmless looking little black box with 4 wires on it. The wires have sticky pads at the end and the doctor shows you where to place them on the back for maximum stimulation and relaxation of the back muscles. Moi being (somewhat) of a genius took the tenz unit and with jaw aching I placed the 4 electrodes (2 each) on either side of my jaw. I turned the dial on the bottom and the smallest little jolt massaged my aching muscles. It was so wonderful, and I can honestly say to NOT set that tenz unit on the couch, because that box falls down between the cushions and on it's way the dial gets turned ALL THE WAY UP. Well there I was every other 2 seconds my face was jerking and contorting left, right, up, and down while I fumbled to try to get the box from beneath the cushions and you would think that you could just pull those little electrode sticky pad things off, but not while your face is jerking all over the place and about a lifetime later I managed to pull the entire wire harness from the box, but not after much damage had been done. You know how some high-classed women make faces when presented with something dreadful? Imagine that happening 4 times the direction at 10 times the jolt and you'll know EXACTLY what my face looked like for at least 2 minutes after I pulled the wire out. My jaw didn't hurt for a month. I think it was afraid to speak. And that's how you fix bruxism for at least a month. Just scare your muscles into submission. To this day if I walk under high voltage power lines, the mere hum and buzz of them make my face contort. Zzzzzzzzzzzt [/QUOTE]
