Teeth grinding is part of sleep apenea test.





The neurologist can do it! Neurologists will prescribe some medications based on the sleep study report.





Dentists can't be any help in the long run! But a neurologist can control the brain chemical reaction to stop teeth grinding!
Reply:Doesn't take too long, I just find the first 5 minutes is a bit irritating but after that I'm fine. I sometimes wonder about wearing my guard during the day as well but haven't done it yet....especially since you can't really wear it anywear but at home.
Reply:go to your local orthodontist. they can make up a guard that is slimline (i wear one) you get used to it within 2 or 3 nights. i dont even notice mine anymore... it is fantastic.
Reply:I also wear a dental guard, because I am a gnasher too. At first, they are uncomfortable, but you do get used to them, and in the long run, they save your teeth.
Reply:A lot depends on the person. If you're a heavy sleeper, who normally falls asleep quickly, it probably wouldn't take long. If you're one of those people who starts thinking when you lay down, it would probably be easy to spend hours paying attention to the piece of plastic in your mouth.
Reply:If you have a strong gag reflex you might not be able to. I have tried, but gag whenever there is something in my mouth.





But, it is definitely worth it to try to deal with this situation before it becomes a problem. At age 40 I needed to have all my top teeth capped because my bite had shrunk several millimeters - and now my lower teeth have worn through the enamel, so I am looking at crowning several there.
