<p>Marcia, you have my sympathies on this.</p>
<p>I had a college roommate with bruxism. If you think her jaws hurt, you should have known what it is like to sleep near a person with bruxism. It was excruciating for me because I "felt" how awful it was for Pat -- who was, of course, serenely asleep and GRINDING away.</p>

<p>Thank you, Dr TM. I clearly have a lot of homework to do before 2 PM tomorrow. I'll be printing out your recommendations for homework reference. Your website taught me a thing or two already. </p>
<p>I guess I'm still unclear what the differences are between the OBS device and "standard" devices. Maybe there is no standard one and designs are different, based on individual needs.</p>
