How do I stop clenching/potentially grinding teeth in sleep?

[Deleted member 7192]

i always wake up with my teeth clenched. not the first time it has happened either, it comes and goes

I sleep on my side cause I find it impossible to sleep on my back

I clenched all of grade 10 until I realized I looked autistic and worse since my face looked smaller than normally

I don't do it on purpose. Last thing I want is my face to get smaller/shorter

it's not because of this, my small teeth are genetic

it's only recent since 2020 started. I think it's from chewing, I always start clenching after chewing gum religiously

Do you have bruxism or just biting down on ur teeth during sleep?
Honestly if it's something u cant prevent try a mouth guard

I don't clench my teeth during the day, but my massesters always feel tense.

I think I can't chew gum anymore cause it always makes me clench in my sleep

I just had bimax and while the surgeon says it should help you need to get a mouth guard made by a dentist... otherwise you will grind down your teeth.
