I have a problem with clenching my teeth. I used to do it while I slept. The gabapentin I take has resolved that. Teeth clenching is damaging to the TMJ. My jaw muscles got seriously overdeveloped from my clenching. I also developed some TMJ problems.

Have you tried chewing gum while driving home?

There is a Botox procedure where they inject the Botox in the jaw muscle to reduce its strength. This helps save the teeth and TMJ.

Being stressed in congested traffic is counter to your brain's need for no stress. Do you have any options to not be in congested traffic?
