Default Night guard question

Hi Bryanna,

I clench my teeth during sleep. (BTW do you know if there is anyway to "cure/address" this behavior?) And i have been wearing night guard lately. My night guard fits my upper front teeth so the molars will not be able to touch each other. However, I feel in that way the front teeth have too much pressure during the whole night and i do feel discomfort in my upper front teeth after wearing it.. I think the discomfort is due to 2 factors
1. The main reason I think is all the pressures are put on my upper front teeth while wearing the night guard
2. The night guard fits my upper front teeth too firmly due to the pressure, and in the morning it is even quite hard to remove it.
I do not know if this is normal.. I am worried it will crack/damage my upper front teeth eventually.

My general dentist suggested use the "full mouth" night guard, which i understand fits into all the teeth. But I feel in that way, my molars will continue getting pressure during the night, and will continue grinding something (with night guard, instead of other molars though)

Also have you heard about "The Doctor's Night Guard Advanced Comfort"? It is sold in Target/Walmart/Amazon..

Thank you!
