Temporomandibular joint disorder, or TMJ syndrome, is an acute or chronic inflammation of the temporomandibular joint, which connects the lower jaw to the skull. The disorder and resultant dysfunction can result in significant pain and impairment.
If I have a soft pillow it seems to push my jaws together and make me clench more.
Does anyone use a harder pillow, it seem as though it would free up the jaw so the teeth would not clecnh together. Any special TMJ pillows?
Any ideas?
Thank you...

I use a small semily soft decorative pillow on top of my normal pillow. I started using it 2 years ago when I had my wisdom teeth out and it works wonderfully.
