From the picture ,the top layer (enamel) has undergone  attrition and dentin (next layer) is starting to get exposed.Soon if the habit continues you have sensitivity sir.
Next Steps
Better to get the soft splint as soon as possible
Health Tips
consult a dentist and get desentizing agent applied on the teeth to prevent sensitivity
