Question: How can I stop clenching my teeth.?

I've clenched my teeth for years. And because of it, I have extremely bad TMJ. Both sides of my jaw crack, my jaw locks, I have pain, headaches, ringing in my ears, pressure on my face, the whole shebang.

I've stopped chewing gum and I don't really eat many foods that are really chewy. Clenching my teeth is such a habit, I don't realize when I do it. If I stop, it should help my TMJ a great deal, but I can't. I just find myself doing it again in a few minutes.

Are there any good ways to help me stop clenching my teeth.?Health Question & Answer
