Grind or Clench?: Grinding and clenching your teeth while awake or asleep will wear the teeth and cause all sorts of clinical issues. If you have been told by your bedmate that you grind in your sleep you should moist definitely get a nite guard appliance. Control of grinding and clenching during the day presents a bigger challenge . See a professional.
