Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
Yes this clenching habit can be improved for this first you have to make improvements in you, it means you have to keep noticing that when are you doing this and try to avoid it.
This also occurs because of stress, try to relieve it.
And at the end you visit your dentist he will give you night guard which will help you a lot.
And if needed he can also make some changes in your occlusal surface of your tooth so that you can close the mouth properly.
Hope it will help you.
