I have been using a Tap for about a month. Still adjusting to it. My jaws clicks on the right side. It doesn’t hurt, but it’s kind of annoying. I have a very small amount of jaw pain when I first remove the mouth piece, but nothing too much after. Can my appliance be adjusted to stop the clicking?
Be careful with that jaw clicking and don't ever do it on purpose. Jaw clicking is a sign of TMJ, and the clicking is when your disc is moving out of place. That can cause a whole slew of issues. I have TMJ, used to have the jaw clicking, and now I have one disc that is permanently displaced and one that goes in and out. Limited mouth opening, and a LOT of pain at first. For some reason, my sleep apnea treatment has seemed to make mine better - I guess because either I'm keeping my mouth closed, or I'm not grinding my teeth. In any case, you might want to talk to your dentist about a night guard.
