My opinion would be to change the vertical dimension of
the NTI, and look for any of the usual trouble spots in
the NTI 'manual'.

but then again, what do I know.

Man, im in more pain right now than ive ever been in. I know that this
is hard for all the NTI believers, but
its not helping me, in fact im getting worse.

Three days with a nonstop headache, and my jaw is tighter and giving
me more pain than ever.
I wish i knew what to do.

This will allow
me to quickly diagnose wheither the problem is occlusal dysfunction,
true nocturnal parafunction (very rare), or nuerological in origin
(certain recreational drug use can cause this). If the problem is the
first in the list it can be treated so that you will not need the
night guard. If it is the 2nd a hard occlusal splint is needed to be
worn at night or when you are under stress this will protect your
teeth during grinding. If it is the third there are no known
treatments for this it would not matter what you would do or what type
of dentistry you have done you will distroy anything placed in your
mouth.

I mean i have a history of recreational use back in the nineties, but
I have completely abstained for a few years.
Does this mean that my condition is untreatable, and that i am going
to "destroy anything placed in my mouth?", or is this referring to
a current user who is trying to treat his bruxism. I have been using
the NTI for more than a month and i havent destroyed it, only put a
couple light grooves.
