Different Kind?: Perhaps a different kind of mouth guard would be better for you. Rather than one that is made to give you something different to grind on, perhaps one that prevents you from grinding in the first place would be better for you. Keep in mind that any bite guard however will have a lifespan...But they typically last several years.

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.
