Hyper-actiive muscul: The reasons for clenching and grinding habits are varied and controversial. A plastic-type device, made by a dentist, that covers the teeth (usually the uppers) and is worn at night can often help decrease muscular activity. In more aggressive cases it can be necessary to wear a device of a specific design 24/7. See your dentist to see which of many approaches is for you.
