What is the best product to help me stop grinding my teeth when I sleep?

I agree that a mouth guard is your best bet, but I have went through a ton of the do it yourself mouth guards. It is going to cost you, but I think that it is worth it to get a mouth guard professional fitted by your dentist. For a long time I thought it would be crazy to spend the extra money, but I was shocked at the difference. I was quickly asking myself why did I not do this sooner?

This is a good one as you can boil it and then bite down to make it fit your actual mouth. I think a custom fit is the best way to go as it will be the most comfortable and won't alter any dental work (i.e. braces) work you have ever had done.

I am usually not one to look for a holistic approach, but I just couldn't sleep with a mouthguard in. I found out that grinding your teeth is usually stress related, so I tried a couple of different things to ease my stress before I went to bed. I know this is easier said then done, but it is worth a shot if you are stressed before you sleep. I like to drink a glass of wine or maybe a little meditating before I go to sleep. There are a lot of possibilities out there. You just have to find something that works for you.

I have been grinding my teeth on and off for years. I personally just use a simple mouth guard. They are fairly inexpensive and you can mold them to your teeth at home. It takes a little while to get use to sleeping with it, but once you do your jaw pain will go away. I found that I started getting a better night sleep once I became comfortable sleeping with a mouth guard. It seems like a pain, but it is worth it for the health of your teeth.
