Hi! how do i remove my mannerism of grinding my teeth while sleeping?
There is no way to completely remove it, but there are things that you can do to try to protect your teeth---get a mouth guard. You can go to your dentist and have one specially made for you or go and by one from one of your local stores. The second option is much cheaper, BUT not nearly as comfortable as getting one specially made for you. Of course it will take some getting used to and it will be uncomfortable to begin with, but it does not take very long to get used to it and the amount of money it will save you in the long run (dentistry wise) is amazing.
Reply:You can now buy over the counter a dental guard that you can modify to your own teeth - this is worn on the bottom teeth during sleep. Years ago I paid a dentist a lot of money to make me a silicone mouth guard for sleeping and it helps tremendously.
Reply:A doctor or other professional could work with you using biofeedback to help you relax. In the meantime get a mouth gaurd made so you don't ruin your teeth or hurt your jaw.
Reply:get a night guard. You cab get them at the drugstore, but you should probably go to the Dentist- get an exact mold of your mouth. I have used one for 2 years, and I get less headaches now.
Reply:The reason your grinding your teeth at night is because of emotional tension and stress. I do the same thing
Reply:I'm sorry I can't give you a specific product answer because I had a college buddy 37 years ago (yeah, I'm a bit older than you, lol) and his dentist told him that if he didn't quit grinding his teeth while sleeping that he wouldn't have teeth to grind by the time he was 30. I don't know what he did about it since it's been so long ago, and "I've slept since then", but I do wish you the best in finding a "cure". God Bless you.
