Braces and grinding teeth

Braces and grinding teeth

Hi all,

I am in my late 20's and have been considering getting braces for
quite a while. One of the things that I am a bit concerned about is
that I have a bad habit of grinding my teeth in my sleep. I currently
wear an over the counter night guard that seems to do the trick. If I
were to get braces, could the orthodontist design a night guard that
can be worn along with braces??

Thanks, mravenez:)
