I wore a bite plate for years. They told me that lots of people with braces end up having to get one. That was probably 15 years ago. Then a couple of years ago I started gritting and grinding my teeth and again and got another one. Strangely when I stopped having bad migraines I quit gritting my teeth. Something about such pain that all I could do was bite down. Now the only time I grit or grind my teeth is when I am in traffic!

Also, for anyone suffering with it one of the worse things you can do is eat ice, gum, tough foods, etc. The dentist said that is just too hard on your jaw!!!
