What Is Grinding/Bruxism?

Bruxism is the clenching or grinding of teeth, or both simultaneously. It often happens during sleep but it can also occur when you are conscious. Most people are unaware of this habit.

What causes Bruxism?
Bruxism is correlated with stress, anxiety and poor sleep quality. Driven and motivated personality types are more likely to suffer from bruxism. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine has classified sleep bruxism as a type of sleep movement disorder, similar to sleep walking.

Bruxism is also associated with obstructive sleep apnea as well as upper airway resistance syndrome, and is common in patients who breathe through their mouth and snore.

14%-17% of children may grind their teeth. This persists into adulthood in about 8% of cases. 20%-50% of bruxers have a family history of bruxism.

Kids grind their teeth if they are:

Relieving anxiety or stress
Hyperactive or aggressive
In pain
Suffering from sleep apnea, or improperly aligned teeth

Prolonged teeth grinding may cause:
Headaches
Earaches
Facial Pain
Jaw Problems
Wearing down of the Tooth Enamel

How to Stop Bruxism?

Your dentist will prepare a custom mouth guard for wear at night. This prevents grinding of the teeth during sleep
