Nightguard: Im not sure if you are referring to grinding/clinching? But if you are, there are several options: anti-inflammation drugs, nightguards, and Botox are all used to treat this.

NTI appliance: We show our stress in our teeth by grinding or clenching that eventually wear down the enamel on the biting surfaces of our dentition. Many times this become a habit that is hard to control and can cause over time expensive dental repair costs or possible loss of teeth. One dental appliance that comes to mind is the use of an nti. It trains the jaw to relax and reduces the pain caused by stress.

Please reask your ?: I believe you are asking how can you relax your jaw so that your teeth are not clenching and causing tenderness, sensitivity and wearing them down which is called bruxing, but I am not certain that is your question. If it is, you are probably doing at night which is called nocturnal bruxism and a large % of the people do this. See your dentist and ask about having a bruxism appliance being made.
