Teeth Grinding Treatment
If you frequently clench your jaw during the day or wake up with sensitive teeth, a sore jaw, or a headache, you could be experiencing bruxism—a condition characterized by grinding, clenching, or gnashing of the teeth.
Habitual teeth grinding and jaw clenching are prevalent issues, affecting up to one-third of adults during waking hours and over 10% during sleep.
What is Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)?
It is a condition where you grind, gnash or clench your teeth. If you have bruxism, you may unconsciously clench your teeth when you’re awake (awake bruxism) or clench or grind them during sleep (sleep bruxism).
