Okay so i want to stop biting my nails because i heard it can be a cause of TMJ? or something like that? anyway, my jaw locks on a morning when i wake up, or when i lie on a side? so i want to stop biting my nails but ive tried will-power and the liquid stuff you can put on, but it never works.
Well i was doing some researching, and i found this mouthpiece you can get? but i cant find it in england. Anyone know where i can get one? %26amp; are they cheap or expensive?

Anything that causes you to clench your jaw - like nail biting, chewing gum - can cause TMJ...
Clenching: Someone who clenches continually bites on things while awake. This might be chewing gum, a pen or pencil, or fingernails. The constant pounding on the joint causes the pain. Stress is often blamed for tension in the jaw, leading to a clenched jaw.
Your dentist might be able to help you re mouthpiece
There is a company that advertisis such a product but I do not know anything about them, whether they are reputable...
S4S (UK) Ltd

I still think your dentist could be the place to go for advice first.Please help! Nail problem, possibly TMJ?
If you continue to grind/clench your teeth, you will wear down your teeth and will have massive pain .. I would recommend checking out in purchasing a non-expensive One-Size fits all night guard.
One-Size Night Guards (night, sports, general, etc.) are definitely a viable option, if you are experiencing grinding, clenching, or bruxism. I would recommend checking out www.totalgard.com - They have some great night guards that eliminate the issues I mentioned earlier and they ship internationally too. They are a proven distributor online and everyone seems satisfied with the company. Their night guards range from $5.95-24.95. Custom mouth guards from your doctor can range from $300-500+ .. I hope this helps!
