Tall Order: Without knowing the type of treatment that you need, it is impossible to say what can or cannot be accomplished in an 8 hour period. In addition, it is unknown what costs you are willing to incur to achieve your goal. Your best bet is to be evaluated by a local dentist who can advise you as to what is best for that perfect smile.

Whitening strips: I am not a dentist, but here is what works for me. Be sure to get regular cleanings at the dentist. Avoid cola, tea and coffee. Avoid blueberries. Floss every day. Do not brush too hard or you may damage your teeth and gums. Over the counter whitening strips can help remove the yellow color. Use as directed.

Why not cut back: 3x/day is sufficient...If you feel that you're having bad breath issues, there are products that can help. Also, be certain to floss to remove bacteria between teeth.
Generally, brushing too much/frequently/hard can damage the enamel along the gumline.

Is it important to brush your teeth twice a day or after every meal?

After every meal: I am sure you have heard it before, you should always bruch and floss after every meal. New studies show that it is best to wait a half an hour after you eat to brush and floss.

Could having TMJ cause my teeth to grind during the day time?

LIkely the other way: It is more than likely that your grinding is exacerbating your tmj. Would be worth your while to look into solutions for your TMJ by speaking with a dentist or ent. Good luck!
