How to stop jaw clenching at night (srs)?

Hi

So recently I've been VERY stressed and I am unintentionally clenching my teeth/jaws at night REALLY hard. I NEVER do this during the day when I am awake (I breath through my nose and keep my mouth closed, but relaxed), and I need it to stop because it's starting to hurt.

I thought I'd try breathing through my mouth at night, that's not good but better than clenching, but it's not easy to do that. I am thinking maybe supps, especially magnesium glycinate.
Would kick em in the nuts

lol yeah, I fall asleep with it relaxed and then it just clenches during the night without me being able to do anything about it. I'm thinking to try maybe stuffing a cloth in my mouth between my teeth that's big enough not to swallow and die but may help the clenching.

If it's a real problem get a mouthguard srs. Not much else you can do to protect your teeth if you can't reduce the stress (else you destroy enamel)

Thanks, I was actually thinking to try sleeping with a finger between my teeth hoping the pain would wake me up, then I figured I'd probably bite it off or severely injure it if it started clenching suddenly srs.

Honestly I'm not too worried about my teeth (sounds stupid I know), I'm more worried about jaw problems from this.

I'm really hoping the magnesium helps I hear a lot of good things about it.

The issue is serious, it doesn't cost a lot of money to try, why not give it a shot

Yeah I think I'll do that, I have no more options left really, and if nothing else it would help the stress.

I think I'm covered for most of the B vitamins, I eat a ton of nutritional yeast. The rest though I will try to supplement.

you don't supplement stress disorders away

if you aren't going to get it addressed by an actual doctor, you can get a nightguard from your dentist that will at least protect your teeth

It's stress induced anxiety, the fix is to see a psychiatrist so they can find the underlying cause and treat you accordingly. Use a mouth guard until then before you chip/crack teeth.

Mouth guard is what my dentist recommended but I still don't have it. About 3 years ago I was grinding my teeth at night on the regular for years without realizing it. One day while eating a piece of corn all of the tops of my front bottom teeth came off without me even realizing it. Didn't even notice it until I slid my tongue over them later.

It's apparently pretty bad for your teeth and can result in needing capped teeth later because they wear down so much from grinding and clenching.

I banged a girl that did this once, it's one of the many many many reasons I stopped sleeping with her. It weirded me out waking up to hearing teeth grinding, srs. Bitch needed to invest in a mouth guard just to sleep.

I don't actually know if I'm GRINDING my teeth or just clenching them together, I assume it's possible to be clenching without grinding too?

have the same problem I think.
I have gum recession already which is bad news but the teeth grinding can loosen your teeth or fuk them up and eventually they can fall out.
Fuk man. Stressed about this lately. Gum surgery is like 1k per tooth to recover 1 receded tooth.. and I probably have like 10 that are fukd.. im not a rich guy either

Fukk, I'm going to try magnesium and zinc and will report back if it helps, that would be a very cheap solution. Maybe you can try one of those really cheap mouthguards they use for sports if you don't want to buy a more expensive purpose-built one from a dentist. My main problem however is stopping the clenching itself because it's starting to hurt, because my jaw is too alpha.

Hmm, yeah if the mouthguard doesn't fit properly it might even move your teeth with all the force you are putting on it and require you to get braces, nevermind lol, I want to try my cloth idea, that shouldn't mess anything up
