Answers:
i have the same problem. the detist told me i would grow out of it, but i have been doing it since i was about 8 [im 15]. it may be stress, or it may be bruxism [grinding your teeth at night, not from stress]

i saw an orofacial myologist for a little bit to see if they could get it to stop. it didnt work for me, but it has worked for some people. [i wont ever stop, so thats why it didnt work]

hope this helps!Health Question & Answer

It probably is stress, so I say try some relaxation exercises before you go to bed at night. I could be something you grow out of too, which unfortunately means it could take some time to go away.
It's best to take the dentists advice and wear a mouth guard because you could move your teeth or cause some serious harm, so until you stop doing it I'd say a mouth guard is the best option.Health Question & Answer

The 'mouthgaurd' really helps.
and yes, it is most likely stress
for the time being be sure to try to sleep with your mouth open
good luck!Health Question & Answer
