Yes, it won't stop the teeth clenching but it'll reduce the inflammation and subsequent damage from it.
I was on Voltaren for my rheumatoid arthritis. It worked well, unfortunately it made my liver enzymes to go crazy. My rheumatologist said Voltaren is known for that - make sure they check your liver levels periodically just in case.
