Bite turbos and teeth grinding?

[Socialsix]

Hi! I am new here and will be getting Damon clear with bite turbos behind upper front teeth in a few weeks. I clench/grind my teeth at night (usually my teeth touching/clenching are the first thing I notice when I hear my alarm go off in the morning). Ortho says turbo will help open the bite so this doesn't happen during treatment. I'm nervous I will break off the turbos during the clenching/grinding at night. I don't know how two little turbos can hold up under the pressure of my jaw clenching at night?? Will I damage my front lower teeth if the jaw is clenched, turbos and all? Does anyone have experience with this? Ortho says it will be fine but I'm skeptical. Thank you!

I have molar build-ups, my ortho refers them as turbos. Are you getting front turbos or molar buildups?

I got braced 4 days ago and the molar build ups have helped me trough the night. I am a long time clencher, and used a mouth guard for a year before getting braces, my main concern was I was so used to the mouth guard that I might squeeze too hard without it.

I'll be getting front turbos that will be bonded behind the upper two front teeth (!). I was hoping for the molar build-ups as those seem a little more reasonable and not like they're going to break off from clenching. Do you have an overbite? Glad to hear the build-ups are helping you through the night.

Interestingly, I tend to clench my jaws only when I had the turbos/stoppers on.
