Wow! Amazing difference!

I'm the same way. I've become more picky with my food and find myself just not wanting to even eat some meals so I don't have to deal with the discomfort.

Im so glad you've gone through this as well. Thank you for sharing! My molars with bite guards are sensitive in the morning, but not painful.
