mouth guards cover your upper teeth only, but in some instances, your dentist will make a mouth guard for the lower teeth as well.

Hello sir,
Grinding of teeth occurs due to stress... Consult a Dentist and get a night gaurd which you have to wear it during night times... You need to reduce stress... Because if you prolong with this habit your teeth will get completely attrited and you will have severe sensitivity and jaw pain... Do as soon as possible...

Stress is an important cause of grinding of teeth. But it can also become habitual grinding. Consult a dentist and get a nightguard made that will protect your teeth and prevent them from wearing out
