emrosenf··on Ask HN: Has anyone fixed their own bruxism?
What started out as a desire to get Invisalign turned into a much deeper journey into understanding the relationship between occlusion, TMJ, posture, sleep apnea and more.

I'm now almost 18 months into treatment with an LVI dentist in San Jose. I don't personally have bruxism, but it's very much in the family of issues.

My HN/lay explanation: the jaw seeks an equilibrium position that maximizes occlusion and minimizes muscular tension. However, many people live in a local equilibrium where occlusion is maximized but the jaw positioning comes with increased muscular tension. This tension can lead to symptoms like bruxism, migraines, etc.

They have a machine called the BioPAK which can track the 3D path of your bite and measure the tension in the different facial muscles to determine if you are actually in the globally optimal position.

Most dentists don’t know what they don’t know. You need to see a physiologic dentist: lviglobal.com

If you have an hour, join their fb group and watch their video. It will be quite illuminating.

emrosenf··on U.S.'s $13 Trillion Debt Poised to Overtake GDP
According to this NYT article (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/23/business/23rates.html), debt service was $202B in 2009. It is projected to go to $700B in 2019.

To put that in perspective, $500B more than covers what we spend on education, energy, homeland security and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Of course, this assumes that our interest rates stay the same. I don't see how this is possible as our debt/GDP rises. I fear we are seriously choking ourselves.
