And please don't say a soother.
I heard from someone once that a couple of magnesium tabs or something along the lines of that helps quite a bit.
I have braces, so the day (or week) after a roll for me is very painful, as I cut my mouth up all to hell. :( |

yeah. its like a mouthguard that athletes wear. i have the same teeth grinding problem. it makes your jaw click in the morning right? annoying as hell. i've been living with this problem for 5 years now, haha... maybe i should go get it fixed. i don't notice it much anymore though. |

It's not so much the lockjaw, its the wires and brackets cutting up your lips and inner cheeks, causing a TON of canker sores and brutal pain. :(
I've resorted to doing G as a substitute, but I like cranking it up a notch or so after a night of drinking and I hear it's quite dangerous to mix alcohol with G. |

| I do a pretty good job of f'ing my mouth up :) the last time i bit my cheek really hard, twice.. thought "hey that didnt hurt.. weird".. sure did for the next couple weeks though that following day. Ended up with a cut on the bottom of my tongue too.. ahh well.. i just deal with it. I know its going to happen, and I still do it.. so i just suck it up. |

Dude your asking for it. Do you know how easy it is to overdose on G? Back in my days, I saw a few friends of mine hit the limit on this and just pass out. The kind that you have to mix according to your weight...which is extremely salty & bitter.
Eventually some woke up in the hopsital. This isn't a pill or alcohol where you're thinking one more sip and you'll be fine....one wrong move and you are done. It is no joke. Mixed with alcohol? A death sentence!!!!
Keep away from it and ecstasy. It's dangerous.
Just enjoy life with a nice martini and some music. You can do it!:p |

| the cuts go away if you plaster wax all over your braces. The dentists/orthodontists have strips of clear wax you can put on them so they cant cut you. Then (this sux) you have to shell out 300 bucks for a night guard. But way better than sports guards. It clicks on and it hard under your teeth so its a good fit, and the under sit is a bitable surface. its awesome! and its clear! so you dont look like a fool hehe. |
