To stop during the day either chew gum or keep reminding yourself not too. I use to going and pressure but found just being aware of it I was able to stop.
I did the same thing with my jaw when I got braces. Ortho said the only way to get my jaw forward more was to break it and extend. I asked about re training since I think it was due to being a thumb suckered, as a toddler. He said it's not possible. I love a challenge.
6 months later he was saying he had never seen anyone do that. The teeth were all aligning up with my jaw being more forward. I hear that a lot. I've never seen anyone able to do that. LoL
Give it a try, being aware and stopping the grinding. Probably habit.
