You might want to try chewy tubes:

They can meet the oral motor need without damaging teeth.
You may also wish to look at other oral motor stimulation with
vibrating chew toys.

Hi Holly,
I'm Terri -
Mom to Patrick, age 10. He has severe autism so he's completely
non-verbal, cognitively age one and still in diapers. Patrick grinds
his teeth also during the day when he's mad. We haven't done anything
about this either b/c Patrick also wouldn't keep a mouth guard in. I'm
not able to help you, but just wanted to let you know I'm out here in Kansas if
you ever need anything!
Terri

Subject: [pws-autism] teeth grinding
Hi everyone - I am new to this site. I have a 15 year old daughter with
PWS and autism. She is grinding her teeth at such a great rate that her
dentist said by the time she is 30 she will have no teeth. So far he
has no way of preventing this as she functions at about a 2 year old
level and will not leave a mouth guard in. Wondering if anyone else has
enountered this problem. Holly
