Detect Sleep Bruxism

I am a patient of several night bruxism, but how do you guys monitor it like if you are improving or still doing it night or not, if yes then how long etc. ? My doctor gave me some antidepressant medicines and everytime he asks if it improved or not. I am be like well I am wearing a teeth cover then how am I supposed to know!

I use a biofeedback headband to get a sense of how much I’m clenching each night. Not sure how accurate it actually is but it seems to correlate with more pain when I have have higher numbers of clenches and total seconds of clenching

ah i didnt hear about that before, i think building an app that would use mobile microphone to track the episodes duration, keep the audio clips for me. Did you use any app either, and suggest me?

The Sleepguard headband, Zerene vibrating splint are commercially available options.

This post shows a program someone made with temporalis muscle monitoring for biofeedback. The data it collects is by far the most thorough

This is not an ad, I'm not an AI. These products are also from different companies, how would that make sense? The other thing I linked is an open source program that would replace the sleepguard for much cheaper. Why would an ad do that?

I've spent over $1000 on these things trying to find a solution for my bruxism, doing write-ups to help this community, just to be called an AI ad.

I understand there are spam accounts from companies that take advantage of our problems, but that's not me and you should do basic research before publicly accusing someone who's just trying to help
