What can you do to avoid teeth grinding?

And please don't say a soother.

I heard from someone once that a couple of magnesium tabs or something along the lines of that helps quite a bit.

I have braces, so the day (or week) after a roll for me is very painful, as I cut my mouth up all to hell.

Be a man and use a kids dummy.

coat your teeth in tinfoil, nobody likes to chew tinfoil!

I knew this would be hard

gobstopper...

talk to a dentist, they have a thingy that you put in your mouth to avoid grinding during the nights

yeah. its like a mouthguard that athletes wear. i have the same teeth grinding problem. it makes your jaw click in the morning right? annoying as hell. i've been living with this problem for 5 years now, haha... maybe i should go get it fixed. i don't notice it much anymore though.

It's not so much the lockjaw, its the wires and brackets cutting up your lips and inner cheeks, causing a TON of canker sores and brutal pain.

I've resorted to doing G as a substitute, but I like cranking it up a notch or so after a night of drinking and I hear it's quite dangerous to mix alcohol with G.

I do a pretty good job of f'ing my mouth up the last time i bit my cheek really hard, twice.. thought "hey that didnt hurt.. weird".. sure did for the next couple weeks though that following day. Ended up with a cut on the bottom of my tongue too.. ahh well.. i just deal with it. I know its going to happen, and I still do it.. so i just suck it up.

Dude your asking for it. Do you know how easy it is to overdose on G? Back in my days, I saw a few friends of mine hit the limit on this and just pass out. The kind that you have to mix according to your weight...which is extremely salty & bitter.
Eventually some woke up in the hopsital. This isn't a pill or alcohol where you're thinking one more sip and you'll be fine....one wrong move and you are done. It is no joke. Mixed with alcohol? A death sentence!!!!
Keep away from it and ecstasy. It's dangerous.
Just enjoy life with a nice martini and some music. You can do it!

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I could totally use a martini right now. It's all about the Bombay Sapphire! Too bad I'm still at work.

the cuts go away if you plaster wax all over your braces. The dentists/orthodontists have strips of clear wax you can put on them so they cant cut you. Then (this sux) you have to shell out 300 bucks for a night guard. But way better than sports guards. It clicks on and it hard under your teeth so its a good fit, and the under sit is a bitable surface. its awesome! and its clear! so you dont look like a fool hehe.

Wick. I've got an ortho appointment next Monday. I'll inquire then...

" ...Ummm yes doctor, would you kindly make me a night guard so that when I pop E I won't butcher the fuck out of my mouth? THanks!"

lol, just say you grind at night

i thought that's what pacifiers are for...

that wouldnt protect your gums from braces and this is a little more complete than a binky. and its clear so people dont know whats going on with you. Some clean chicks might be in there and not want to talk to a guy whacked out on E.

dude, my dumbass orthodontist fucked up my teeth so badly, i've had braces on for 5 1/2 years.... sick eh? anyways, after so many years of grinding up my gums with my brackets, my lips and gums are now tough as leather, haha... you'll get used to the cutting and pain soon, =P. just ride it out for a while, its not so bad...

i had braces for 10 years

you gotta be shitting me.... i thought 5 years and running was bad...

lol 5 years here. The only thing i can tell you is suck it up, it'll go away

Dudes... I first had brace in '92! Had them for 4 years, and this is my second time around. I'm getting prepped for orthognatic jaw surgery, where they will be breaking my jaw and extending it forward. I'm gonna have my mouth wired shut for 6 weeks waiting for it to heal after the operation.

holyyyyyyy shittttttt

10 years?!?!

thats insane i had them for like 2...

it was mainly due to my orthodontist being a fuck head. I told him to take them off in the end. I think he was just playin me for cash. Hes like "you still need a lot of work" but I said bugger off, and everyone actually comments on how good my teeth are...weird
