I sleep with a clenched jaw. Does this affect the correction of my overbite?

Hi Sarah,

You could be stressed, please advise:

If you continue to grind/clench your teeth, you will wear down your teeth and will have massive pain .. I would recommend checking out in purchasing a non-expensive One-Size fits all night guard.

One-Size Night Guards (night, sports, general, etc.) are definitely a viable option, if you are experiencing grinding, clenching, or bruxism. I would recommend checking out www.totalgard.com - They have some great night guards that eliminate the issues I mentioned earlier. They are a proven distributor online and everyone seems satisfied with the company. Their night guards range from $5.95-24.95. Custom mouth guards from your doctor can range from $300-500+ .. I hope this helps!

Granny trick: Put a clove between the back of your bottom gums and the wall of your mouth at bed time. Worked for me as a temp solution (warning it's an acquired taste). But eventually you'll have to deal with what ever is causing you the anxiety.
