Do you grind your teeth???


Just curious, because I do BADLY and wake up with headaches sometimes. I know you can get a mouth piece for it, but I haven't yet.. one day.. I'm sure. I have grinded my teeth since I was a child! :no

i do. i got the mouthpiece and that stuff didnt even work i grinded right through it..

i still owe $300 on it too.. im losing my back t00th

Geeez chick, I'm sorry.. that just sounds crappy altogether, I'm sure I'll be at that point eventually.. I think they said stress causes it but still wonder what i'm stressed about :lol

I have TMJ and a mouthpiece(when I remember to use it).

No but my SO does... not badly but I still think that it can't be good for him.

Wow... sometimes I my jaws hurt also.. so I know what you mean! :hugs

Yah, not good for the teeth mainly... :hugs

I use to really bad, but I got a mouthpiece for it and I don't do it any more. DB does BAD sometimes, but only sometimes lol.

I'm more of a clencher :yes...I need to get a new mouthguard made, especially with all the stress that I am dealing with right now

You should be able to get a hard night guard made at not charge since you guys are overseas :D...ask the dentist :yes, and see if they will make it for the bottom teeth instead of the top, easier to get used to and be more compliant about wearing it :yes

I used to do it really bad when I was little. I still do sometimes and then wake up with sore teeth and a headache. DB does it really badly and he has TMJ. It gives me chills to listen to him do it.

When I was little I did.

every once in a while, my 8 month old grinds his teeth (all 4 of them lol). but doc said it's normal, and that he is probably just trying to get used to his new teeth. i hate when he does it, it drives me nuts!

I use to but now that I have braces,I no longer grind but I did go through a period where I clenched-I don't do that anymore either though. DH grinds & he wears a mouthpiece to help him:yes

The thought of teeth grinding gives me the chills! Both my husband and daughter grind their teeth in their sleep. AHHHHHHH That sound!!!

No, not that I know of. :)

I don't grind but I'm a clencher too which is way no fun!

Yes I do and I used to wake up with terrible headaches and my jaw would hurt. I got a mouth guard from the dentist and it has helped big time!! Tricare covered half of it so my out of pocket for it was about 150.00

YES! Omg my sister and I both do. Got it from our Mother.

Nope

I used to when I was little. The dr told my mom it was a symptom of intestinal worms.

I don't but my youngest DD does.

I do sometimes not that often though i talk in my sleep more

my dentist says that i do. i had no idea. apparently, if you grind your teeth, you develop these bony growths on your bottom jaw & i've got them. i must do it in my sleep. they haven't told me to get a mouth guard yet tho. who knows what'll happen when i get my braces.

Yes I do. BIG time. It sometimes wakes me up cuz my teeth hurt so bad. it sux

Yep, I do although I clench them more than anything. It has gotten a little better as I have gotten older and I am hoping that continues because I can't handle the mouthpieces. I have a really shallow mouth and those things make me gag.

I used to. I more just clench really hard now when I'm stressed and sleeping.

Nope. My mom does a lot while she sleeps so she got a mouthguard and it was definitely worth every penny.

i think i do it because my jaws are misaligned now becuse i cant breathe out of my nose.. so i breathe out of my mouth and its screwing up my bite.. so its getting worse.. and stress. eh oh well

I said I have. I do once in a while actually. I hate it!!!

I used to, I don't know if I do anymore. But Df sometimes does it an it's SO loud!!! When I hear it I wake him up.

Ever since I got pregnant I have specially now bc Im so stressed. Ill wake up sometimes and my teeth will hurt and my gums will be sore. It sux!

eh..those bony growths happen in anyone, grinding/clenching or not :yes
You would see wear on the teeth or ditched areas at the gum line before you could make bone grow from clenching/grinding :yes

Yep. And I wake up with a sore jaw all the time...especially when I'm stressed. But the mouthguard hurts also, so I don't wear mine.

So I should just figure out how to be less stressed. Should be simple, right?

I used to grind when I was a kid and then I was a clencher. My orthodontist (I had braces a few years ago) built up the plastic part on my upper retainer so that my upper and lower teeth couldn't meet, that helped out a bunch :yes.
