According to dentist David Lerner, "People with TMD often think it's natural to clench their teeth all the time."
Well, that's just plain not the case.
In reality, clenching their teeth keeps their jaws tense and painful.
In Bill Gottlieb's excellent compiliation Alternative Home Remedies, Dr. Lerner advises, "To break the clenching habit, repeat this phrase to yourself throughout the day:
"Teeth apart, lips together, tongue on the roof of the mouth."For ideal jaw posture, put the tip of your tongue on the roof of your mouth right behind your front teeth.
"These corrections help to center the jaw and eliminate TMD problems," says Dr. Lerner.
Jaw pain relief doesn't get a whole lot easier and less expensive than that, does it?
