If you grind your teeth, bite the bullet (no pun intended), and get he $700 mouth guar... and get it A.S.A.P.
Your dentail hygenie and well being is WAY too important to take risks on, and long-term dential problems are expensive, and most importantly, painful.

Yep, so true
I found out at your age that I had a jaw problem. It was an expensive medical and dental experience that I am still dealing with at almost 39. I also have one daughter who had braces twice so she won't get it and another daughter who will have to get obtain the braces in a month cause she is now having joint pain and popping of the jaw.
Anyone who grinds their teeth or has had headaches for no known should read the symptoms at the cool site that Raven listed
http://tmj.org/symptoms.asp. Alot of insurances will cover treatment or part. You just have to go thru the process of having your doctor refer you to an ear nose and throat first who then refers you to the tmj dentist after making sure you dont have anything else going on.
The good news is alot of people just grind their teeth and have symptoms of pain that can be treated with the night guard.
Unfortunately, some of us have obtain injuries etc from the jaw joint being out of place ... THat's another nightmare.....
