You obviously are still grinding thru the night guard. It is called severe bruxism and you need to get back to your doctor and get him to place fillings and build all of your teeth back up again. It is unadvisable to have veneers or crowns down, because you will just chip them when you grind. I reccomend trying a day guard as well as the night guard. And perhaps your dentists lab can make it out of tougher material. Hope this helps!!!

Go to your local drugstore and buy a night guard.  You will boild it so that it conforms to your mounth.  It sounds uncomfortable and obstrusive, but it really isnt, and you'll barley notice it during the night.  This will stopp grinding from damaging your teeth.

YES!!! You should go see a dentist and get some braces for your teeth and cleaning will help.

You need to see an orthodontist to get your bite adjusted so you don't have the pain anymore.  In the meantime you can get some relief by wearing a night guard when you sleep.

Maybe you have some infection under a tooth or other problems, see a dentist...;

you might consider getting one of the sports guards and cutting it to the size of your mouth and heating it to mold to your teeth as the directions tell you ..try sleeping in this and see if it helps the soreness until you can see your dentist.

first you need to consult your dentist. sometimes, you can crown teeth that are not in line where they should be and create the appearance of straigter teeth but this doesn't always work if you are really too far out there- so only your dentist can tell you for sure.

If the retainer doesn't fit well, it may need to be adjusted by the orthodontist. Ask his recommendation for your further treatment.

Dear Lillypetal,\nhi.. im a Dentist. the clenching U say u got is called Bruxism. did U get a filling done recently? it maybe cos a little extra filling material was put into the cavity(called a high point) its like a bump n u may subconsciously be trying to get your teeth to close well but aren able to.\nthis may sound stupid.. but when was the last time U went in for De worming medication....? u may require a course. ask your pharmacist. (ALBENDAZOLE)\nsomeone else suggested U get a guard that sports people use( such as football players or even boxers) u might want to try that.\ndo U have wax in your ears? if so then u need a clean up. use a wax dissolving liquid(ask for something with Paradichlorobenzene and benzocaine in it)\nif u got loads of problems on your mind n like U say u reallly need the sleep U could take 0.25mg of Alprazolam..its an anti anxiety drug. please don take on regular basis!\nYour cheek muscles(especially just below your ear) could hurt real bad when U wake up. try soaking a towel in warm water n applying in it.steamin could help too.\ntry chewing on some bubblegum.\nif facial muscle soreness is a problem U could have muscle spasm. in that case take an anti spasmodic(something U use for menstrual cramps show do just fine). donot take it if Ur facial muscles don feel sore.\ntry sucking on a lozenge.\nlastly this show help in some way or the other- follow religiously before U go to bed...brush teeth really wellusing the least amount of force U can(NOT TOO HARD!!). floss gently. see that teeth are squeaky clean.\nuse a good mouthwash(preferably something with CHLOREXHIDINE and ZINC) if not available. thorough warm salt water gargles should help.\ni have never seen U so i need U to make a decision as to what exactly is your problem.. thats why the long list of possible solutions.!\ntake care n really hope U get some sleep tonight.\nsweet dreams!

It might not be your teeth that's giving you problems, it could be your gums. If you're really concerned, see a dentist. It'll be worth your while to make sure you take adequate care of your teeth.\n\nIn any case, be sure to brush your teeth regularly (especially before you sleep!), floss the crevices in between to get rid of bits of stuck food, and rinse with mouthwash to get rid of residual plaque.\n\nTo brush effectively, you need to angle your toothbrush to a 45 degree angle against the your tooth and massage lightly (with finger pressure only - don't press with your entire arm) in circles around the tooth. Brush two teeth at a go, and make 10-20 circles per pair. It'll take a while, alternatively use an electric toothbrush.\n\nWhen you first floss, you might experience some bleeding, but it'll eventually get less and less as your gums get more healthy.\n\nFinally, back to your teeth - drink milk, eat green leafy vegetables and get some sunshine now and then. Your teeth are made of calcium so anything with calcium will give you strong teeth (and bones).

I don't know what causes it, but it isn't good for you.  You probably have TMD, so go to the dentist and see if you can get him/her to make you a mouth guard.\n \nWhy do you keep asking this question?  Christy answered it well the first time you asked.\n\nI will repeat- You may have some kind of malocclusion maybe you should go to an orthodontist.  \nYou can go to a regular dentist and have him make you a mouth guard for when you sleep.  Do you get headaches?  If you do you should tell the dentist, it will help with your diagnosis.

it may be thei first signs  of canser or it may be gingivitas either way i recomend you call youyr dentist and make an appointment to be seen so you can have it taken casre of now  at its early cureable stages instead of later when it might be too klate to do anything about  it. and hopefuly it is just gingivitus that way it is easier to cure and get rid of. goodluck to you and i will keep you in my prayers.

You probably have got a cavity. You need to go to your dentist and get a filling.

This is called TMJ.  Your dentist can fit you with a mouth guard or you can pick one up at a local drugstore.  If a guard it not used you risk damaging your teeth good luck

You should go see your dentist asap.  I used to be a dental assistant and there are illnesses in the gums that can be treated.  Infections that you may not even know are there.  If you wait and don't find out what it is, the sockets can become looser and you could risk losing your teeth.

It's possible you may have TMJ.  Consult a dentist and if necessary he or she will refer you to a TMJ specialist.
