A member asked:

Biting done on purpose all through the day when i used to do it. i have a feeling it might be because i have braces and the metal may have affected my cheeks. but it hasnt gone done since it started 2 months ago. do you know what it might be or help?

Clenching: A pernicious habit. See your Orthodontist or or Gen eralDentist to evaluate the tissues on the insides of your cheeks. a deprogramming splint may be helpful. As may physical therapy, biofeedback, muscle relaxants, analgesics, etc. You need professional advice proceeded by an appropriate evaluation. Go get examined.this can't be fixed with a keyboard click.
