Answers:
Yes you will get problems.
The enamal on your teeth is the strongest bone in your body, but grinding them, wares away at them.
Try a bite guard for awhile, just to restore them(:

You will wear them away doing that. Although the teeth are strong, grinding them the way you describe will cause them to wear.
