Julie, I've worn a mouth guard for ten years or so. I've always been a teeth grinder(in my sleep), even before I was on any medication. S.Suggs is right that you probably want a hard molded one, mine is soft and sometimes I wake up and I'm chewing the heck out of it(I actually am having dreams of eating when I do this!). Anyway, you should shop around for other dentists that take your insurance and ask the cost of *just* the mouth guard. If you really do need all that other stuff, it can probably wait til you can afford it, but the mouth guard will keep things from getting worse.CarolAnn
