I need help ... in the teeth grinding department ...


I woke up about 35 minutes ago and my jaw is just now relaxing


I had a hot cloth on my face for about 10 minutes to get my teeth apart


I don't know what to do


I have had both rubber and hard plastic bite plates ... I ground right through both in less than a week ... the hard plastic [like a retainer] scared the crap out of my orthodontists ... he couldn't believe I went straight through it ...


has anyone done anything that helps ... cause if I keep this up I will eventually have no teeth ... the headaches and arm aches are bad enough ... but no teeth ... that could be a problem ...


so if anyone has tried anything conventional or unconventional please let me know ... I am willing to give anything [almost anything] a try at this point ...
