Yeah, I've gotten one of those as well for my upper jaw, sleeping way better since I got it.
It was also the dentist who unriddled particular nasty tension headaches I suffer from sometimes. All the nightly gnawing makes my neck muscles sometimes tense up, which leads to pains in the back of the neck radiating up to the back of the head.
Sadly that's not something the mouthguard helps with, so I will probably have to look for a solution to actually end the gnawing itself.
edit: This commenter [0] suggests Magnesium might help with the nightly teeth gnawing. A quick Google search, sure enough, seems to confirm the relation [1], awesome!
