I have just recently started grinding my teeth when sleeping.?

I don%26#039;t do it hard enough to cause my teeth or jaw to ache, which is the case with a lot of people. I can%26#039;t afford a professionally made mouth guard right now. My question is, will a drugstore night guard be better than nothing, or could it cause even more problems? I started grinding because my wisdom teeth grew in and threw off my alignment, but I have had them removed recently. Does anyone have expereince with the drugstore brands. Any advice would be appreciated.


Thank you!!

I bought one from walmart ( I am a horrible grinder) that you mold to your teeth. It was $30 and it works perfect. Make sure you get the right size- I bought a large one by accident and I needed a small....it was a little much to take in! LOL





They only had one brand at walmart and I am assuming this would be the lowest price too.
Reply:I%26#039;ve heard, but do not know, that buying a sports mouthguard is better than nothing if you grind.
Reply:Drugstore%26#039;s Nightguards PERFECTLY fine. Better than nothing right. Some are even gummy and fit your smile and you can find them at Wal-Mart and stuff. They are cheap but help a lot!
Reply:this could be a temporary occurance. For the time being i would by a mouthguard from a nearby drugstore. The small cost of this item definately outways the the possible negative consequences.


Hope this helps!!!
Reply:The drug store type is better than nothing for sure. They%26#039;re comfortable if you follow the drrections for molding them to your mouth and they prevent more damage to your teeth. Go to the dentest when you can afford it, but in the meantime, get one from the store.
Reply:Get the drugstore one. I used one until I had the money to buy an NTI from my dentist.
Reply:I have recently spoken to my dentist about this and he said the drugstore type are just as good for protecting your teeth...the thing is get one you boil to make soft and then put in your nouth to mold to your teeth.....Good Luck!
Reply:I use the drugstore brand, it helps...


I do not bite so hard when I use that.


It stops the pain...


I grind my teeth and make my teeth abcess when I am upset.


I have found that I bite in my sleep when I am upset when my husband is hiding money from me...


You have a real reason to be upset...if you are biting..the subconscious does not lie....and don%26#039;t let anyone invalidate your awareness....


but don%26#039;t run to a Psychiatrist...so they can drug you...


just find out what you are REALLY upset about...and fix it...if you have to divorce..then do it...you will wind up with a mouth empty...of teath...and you won%26#039;t be attractive to them...anyway...and then will loose them anyway...


If it is someone taking advantage of you...stand up for yourself...someone borrowing money off of you and not paying it back....criticizing you...invalidating and putting you down.....making you wrong for anything...and everything...


or are you making yourself wrong for something...





Be nice to yourself...go through all the relationships in your life...and examine them...if they are destroying you...eliminate them...your life will be simplier...and HAPPIER...


sometimes you have to change your life financially...


but what you loose...something BETTER ALWAYS COMES ALONG........and you will have beautiful teeth...!!!





Try the drugstore brand...if it does not work, then you can go get the professional one...they almost look the same anyway..





If you can find a CRANIAL SACRIAL therapist...get them to work on the alignment of your skull and jaw...they have straightened mine so effectively that my bite it better and I do not have any trouble in a year now.....you can find them in the phone book, or look on the web pages for one in your area....


If you are in the Dallas Texas area..there one of the highest trained ones Sandy Hanney 469-438-8634





She has also relieved a lot of pain in my body as well...through the years.......
