Night guard: As the name indicate it is an appliance that is worn over the teeth to reduce and in some cases eliminate the grinding. Please see a dentist or a prosthodontist to have a thorough TMJ examination ad get a a custom night guard made.

Sleep bruxism: Sleep bruxism or nocturnal grinding is best treated by a dentist who will evaluate your bite as part of a evaluation. This may be only related to your teeth and your bite but other things will be evaluated also. This includes history of things like trauma, habits, stress levels and sleep apnea. The first step is to see a dentist.
