A better and more expensive solution would be to go to a dentist and ask for help. He would probably fit you with a more comfortable mouthguard to wear at night.
Reply:Have you tried a mouth guard....lots of people use them to protect their teeth at night due to grinding. My sister used to grind her teeth constantly while sleeping, we used this method and it helped her out alot!! Try it out, it might help ya!
Reply:I'd see a dentist about getting a nightguard, they are usually for people who grind their teeth the more traditional way (side to side on all the teeth) but it may help you too, you would need to ask the dentist.





Until you have time to get to a dentist, you could just wear a regular mouth guard to bed. You can get one at any sporting goods store, follow the directions on it to form it to your mouth. and since you only need protection near the front of your mouth you can always cut the back part off of each side and leave only enough to cover the front half of your teeth.
Reply:this happens to me alot





I happened last night





use a teeth guard like in boxing this will relieve most if not all the strees





if you don't have one try thoes foam thing you bite on a the dentist tha mold to your teeth although





I think the mouth guard would be much easier to find





it works for me... but you have to remember to put it in
Reply:well im not quick sure what you mean but you could try going to your doctor about it and maybe he or she could give you a retainer or something to put in your mouth at night so you wont hurt your teeth
Reply:Alright man I have the same thing and also have one of my front teeth chipped so it really hurts so i feel you. When I did this I was usually in a stressful state and I somewhat knew what was going on in my dreams but I could not wake up, what I do now is in my dream I put my hand in my mouth. And I actually put my fingers in my mouth while I'm sleeping while this happens. So I wake up because I am biting the crap out of my fingers in real life. I don't think some people have the ability to do this but I kinda trained myself. Good luck, some people get small mouth pieces made for this.
Reply:go to the dentist tell him your problem that happened to my friend Bye
Reply:Generally the treatment for sleeping grinding is the same as for sleeping clenching. Get a night guard. At a continuing education course recently, we were told that if a person's normal force of chewing during the day (which would be monitored by your awake brain) is 25 Newtons, then at night while you are asleep the force exerted on your teeth by clenching and grinding might be as high as 250 Newtons. That is a huge difference.


Get a night guard. It will help your jaw to relax and if anything gets worn down it will be the plastic of the night guard and not your teeth.
Reply:that is grinding. Go buy a night mouth guard. Call your dentist or go to any local pharmacy and buy a mouth guard. They are located in the oral health section of the store.
Reply:Hey Julian, you need to get a retainer. Plastic retainers are the best as they fit over all of your teeth. This will minimise any damage that is getting done to your teeth while you sleep. The retainers may also make it harder to press your front teeth together. The retainers dont usually cost much especially if you have private health cover. Good Luck. If all else fails buy sports retainers, they are huge and will make it extremely difficult for you to even move your jaw at night.
