Yes, can you go to the dentist and get a night mouth guard. It takes some getting used to but it will stop you grinding. If you can afford it get a personalised one for your upper jaw, it should help.

I have a very long assoc. with Dentistry and have spend many years studying this phenomenon. A dental appliance can in some mild cases reduce or stop bruxism, however there are MANY MANY cases where it does not.
The etiology of Bruxism/Clenching is multifactorial and very complex. There are an enormous number of treatments out there, many of which have no scientific basis. Caution is advised.
Be
well.Thanks! Got it.
Mine certainly doesn’t stop me grinding my teeth as it is in the bottom of a cupboard somewhere. I thought it worked whilst I used it but I am less stressed now so grind my teeth less anyway.
