Teeth grinding in braces?

[Bracedforbraces]

Hey folks, just a quick question; have any of you started to grind your teeth in your sleep since getting braces? I have started waking each morning with achy, tender teeth. It wears off after I've been awake an hour or so, so I can only presume I'm grinding them in my sleep. Does anyone please have any ideas how to stop it?
Thanks

I was given a U shaped clear plastic thing to bite down on whenever i needed to relive pressure, so I've been using that to stop the grinding in my teeth without braces. Maybe it'll do the same with them on? xo

I seem to subject myself to grinding as well. All of the foreign material in the mouth perpetuates this behavior.
