Do I Need Braces To Stop My Clenching?

I have an overbite which isn't the main problem. When I'm not eating or chewing gum, my jaw seems to clench way more on my right side of my mouth than my left. I haven't noticed any drastic changes, but I'm not sure if braces could prevent any further or future damaged to my teeth/jaw?
