Question:
When I was about 15, I noticed that I clenched my teeth while I was sleeping. I am now 22, and I find myself clenching my teeth throughout the day as well as when I'm asleep. I am getting frequent headaches and feel a lot of pressure on my gums. Is there any thing I can do? ...Kaylina in NC

Answer:
Kaylina, your headaches will only get worse without treatment. You need to find a TMJ specialist in your area. One who understands functional orthodontics and decompression strategies. Let me know where you live. I will try to find you some help.
