Teeth Grinding

but you can buy a guard in the sports section

This would be my suggestion if you can't afford the one from a dentist. anything used to protect your teeth while participating in a contact sport should do.

I also recommend the dentist made night guard, but used a sports mouth guard when I misplaced my dentist made one. For me, anything is better than not using some sort of night guard. I do chew through even the dentist made ones so I get them replaced frequently. Thanks to all for the other useful tips posted.

I have TMJ and understand the teeth grinding well. I have been through many nightguards. I still grind my teeth throughout the day, and have constant pain. I have tried different TMJ treatments with not a lot of success. Treatments have become too expensive. I think of going the surgery route, but there is no guarantee that will help either.

Find a good dentist is what I recommend the most.
