How can i stop myself from grinding my teeth?

Nite guard : You may not ever stop grinding your teeth. It can be genetic and unavoidable. It may also be stress related. There may be other causes as well. What you can do is minimize stress and wear a nite guard. You should visit a dentist with extra training in occlusion like pankey or dawson, who will make you a custom therapeutic appliance, much different from a generic night guard.

Get a Nightguard: Daytime teeth grinding is a habit which can be broken, like any other. But it's not easy. You have to constantly remind yourself to keep your teeth slightly apart. Night-time grinding cannot be stopped, but its destructive effects can be minimized with a nightguard. Otc appliances rarely work & often cause more pain. Have your dentist recommend the proper nightguard, & have it professionally made.
