Yes that type. My jaw kept cracking. Sometimes my jaw does that from laying on one side too long too. I'm not willing to do jaw surgery. I know they had to break her jaw and she had her jaw wired shut and she had to eat through a straw for a long period.

A doctor told me to try a dental device from a store to see if it helped at all and then to get one from a dentist if it did help me. I have a jaw that can slide and the dental device from a store made it worse and it kept sliding and cracking during the day. I have various bones that hurt from laying on my side all night on elevated pillows for sleep apnea and acid reflux. So Dental didn't work. I know a lady who had jaw surgery and she had to have her jaw wired shut and just drink through a straw. I think it was for 3 months.

That does sound very uncomfortable. Are there any other treatments for the jaw, other than surgery?
