Help! How to stop teeth from grinding at night?!


Question: Help! How to stop teeth from grinding at night!?
Hi!. I've already bought a mouth guard, molded it properly, and wear it every night for months now!. Yet it is uncomfortable and difficult to sleep with the mouth guard on!. Without the guard, I would grind excessively and had already worn down some teeth!. (No, I'm not stressing out either!.)

Does anyone have any other solutions that works for them!? I remember reading somewhere that jaw exercises help!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I bought a mouth guard a few years ago and I don't see how you could bear it for months!. I couldn't bear it for more than two nights!.

What I did is go to my dentist and he made a mouth guard for me specifically to fit comfortably in my mouth!. It was small and only fit on the bottom of my teeth!.

Stress caused my grinding!. Once I managed my stress, I didn't grind my teeth at night!. You may not realize you are stressed by the way!.

Here's a website I found that may also help you:

I have constantly ground my teeth as well!. No idea why though :( !. Anyway, I haven't heard of any alternative stuff but I went to the dentist and they had an acryllic night guard made for me (it took about a week)!. They take molds of your teeth and actually make a hard plastic "retainer" like thing that covers the bottom teeth!. It is not uncomfortable to wear and will work much better than any rubber mouth guard that you buy in the store!. Good Luck :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Go to the dentist and have a CUSTOM night guard made for you!. Custom guards are a LOT more comfortable!Www@Answer-Health@Com
