There is no way to stop grinding. You do it in your sleep. You need a mouthguard. Get one and use it every night. You can purchase athletic mouthguards (same thing basically) from a dental hygiene college that has a public clinic. In massachusetts it cost 10 bucks to have a custom made athletic mouth guard. Visit www.ada.org and search the site for local dental hygiene colleges or dental colleges. Then call the school to see if they have a public dental clinic and ask if they make mouthguards or athletic mouthguards.
Reply:i have the same problem. its a bad habit, and causes more cavities. you should talk to your dentist. my dentist is fitting me for a retainer at night. but other things you could try is sleeping with your mouth open.
Reply:Have you tried a chin strap? These are usually for people with sleep apnoea to clamp their jaw shut. Its like a giant elastic band that tighten to keep your mouth closed. You could try tightening one comfortable enough to make it difficult to move your jaw forward/backward/side to side as the case is with grinding. Available from pharmacies or stockists of sleep apnoea products
