I don't grind but I clench. I actually had to have some of my teeth shaved down because it was creating cavities.

All the time!! I once tried using a mouth guard when I slept at night at my dentist's suggestion but that got old QUICK.

I clench my jaw, but no grinding. Hubby grinds his teeth like crazy though. So bad!

Yes, I clench/grind a lot. Mostly clench. My dentist just recommended a mouth guard because he said I'm clenching so hard that I'm wearing down my gums, and if it goes uncorrected it could actually change the shape of my face! Unfortunately, the mouth guard is not covered by insurance ($396), but they offered a "cheaper" one that is $200. I think I'm going to do the cheaper one at my next appointment.

I grind my teeth at night. My DH can't stand it. I should probably invest in a mouth guard.

@rahlyrah: I didn't know it created cavities! I'm a clencher also.
