I hv been struggling with bruxism all my life. It got worse when i am stressed out at work. And nowadays mouth-guard is very expensive yet if i dont use it, i am afraid i damage my teeth. For my case, it only happens during sleep time. If you are un-consciously doing it during wake hours, you really need to make yourself aware to stop. Otherwise after some time, may become a permanent habit!

I am a high anxiety person since childhood. Runs in the family. From start of pandemic until mid this year I was under very high stress situation - it got much worse. But for past few months, stress sources gone already. Yet I still do it I think, to the extent during my waking hours also sometimes I catch myself unconsciously doing it.

Suggest u try chewing gum for your awake hours, basically you are unconsciously needing to nibble something. Make sure its sugar-less ya, to prevent cavities.

I guess ur work must be quite stressful? Aiyo....
