Clenching: If you find that you are clenching throughout the hours you are awake try to break the habit by placing your tongue on the roof of your mouth half an inch behind your teeth and press with your tongue. This position can relax the muscles you use to clench. Unfortunately, this only works during hours you are awake. Try a night guard for bedtime.
