@Mrfunkedude I imagine you'll get lots of advice on this topic. I'm a lifetime tooth clencher/grinder. I'm here to tell you it causes all sorts of problems, including tooth loss. Dec 2022 I finally had insurance to cover the problem & I started wearing a mouth (tooth) guard at night. It only took a couple of nights to adjust having something in my mouth while sleeping. Getting this device has been a game changer. Don't buy over the counter. Have your dentist do the fitting. Good Luck?
