Yes grinding and clenching of teeth definitely are a cause of pain in the jaws, neck and shoulder region. Firstly get a soft nightguard made from a dentist . It’s regular use should reduce pain.
Health Tips
Braces help only if you have occlusal problems. Grinding of teeth may not be necessarily due to bite problems
