Question: How does a mouth guard stop you from clenching/grinding your teeth & how effective are they!?

All medical explanations have been ruled out, but I recently started waking up with headaches every morning & the muscles across my shoulders & down my neck ache aswell!. I went to see my dentist & was told the headaches are caused by grinding/clenching my teeth at night - I was told years ago that my teeth show evidence of this, but nothing was done about it as I didn't have any obvious problems!. This has never been suggested as the reason behind my tiredness, but if i've been doing it for years could it be part of the problem!? Would it also cause the tension across my shoulders!? If so, how does a mouth guard work - the dentist has suggested one, but at a cost of

The symptom needs to be explained , grinding or bighting , if bighting then one bight and you are awake , the mouth guard will stop the cutting of the tongue , that strange taste sometimes is blood , the tension is linked as you are not getting rest and fatigue is evident !. See other posts reference being held or becoming stiff , apparently linked with nacrolepsy , etc!. etc !. i THINK WE A SUB- GROUP !.Www@Answer-Health@Com
