I grind my teeth and clench my jaw, mostly in my sleep. It gets worse when I get migraines. They can make bite splints out of a softer material now that's much more comfortable than the really hard plastic. I think it's just a harder, "fancier" form of football mouth guards that you can get at any drugstore or discount store (at least here in the US).
The neurologist tried me on several different antidepressants to try to reduce the migraines -- come to think of it, within one year he tried me on every antidepressant (not at the same time, thankfully). They didn't work on the migraines, and they had absolutely no effect on the teeth grinding.
Remember, every body is different. I hope you're feeling better. ![There there](/images/smilies/pftroest.gif) Oral surgery and infections can be awful.
