I joined this forum after finding this page. 6 months ago I started sucking, probing etc on my top pre-molars, it has gotten worse and worse. Eventually the nerves jangle and I cannot stop. I am planning on seeing my doc for OCD meds or something. Here are the things that have offered some help for me. They have not solved the problem, but may for someone:
Put dental wax over the offending teeth and used teeth numbing gel on them. This worked well, but once the wax is off or the gel wears off, I am back where I was.
Currently I bought a cheap night guard set on Amazon. This works great when it is on since I cannot reach the teeth. It eliminates the urge since again I cannot get to the teeth. However, once I take it off - back to where I was. It is a bit embarrassing to wear during the day as well.
Finally, relaxation and mindfullness works for short periods of time.
Yipes. Hope I can get this worked out before my teeth fall out.
