New night guard: It may be difficult to stop the grinding, and night guards don't last forever. I had a patient that needed a guard made out of metal because he bit down so hard on the acrylic guards I made for him. It won't be cheap, but it also won't break. Ask your dentist.

Nocturnal Bruxism: also called night time clenching, may cause tooth wear, and even damage or break teeth. See your dentist for night guard fabrication. Good luck.
