Dental exam: Orthotic nightguards can be fabricated for this problem. It may be related to the size of your tongue (macroglossia). See a dentist for evaluation and treatment

Night Bruxism: also called night time clenching, may cause pain in the temple area, tooth wear, teeth movement and even damage or break teeth. Currently, no therapy has been proven effective in treating sleep bruxism. See your dentist for night guard fabrication for teeth protection. Good luck.
