Grinding or clenching your teeth is known as bruxism. It is caused by increased activity in the chewing muscles and serves no real purpose — but over time it can wear down your teeth and place strain on your jaw. It often happens at night, so most people only notice it through its after-effects.
What lies behind it
Teeth grinding is now understood as a form of sleep disturbance, often connected to stress and inner tension rather than the alignment of your teeth. Hereditary factors also play a role. It is rarely something you can consciously control.
What it can feel like
- Sore or tired jaws, especially in the morning
- Tension headaches upon waking
- Teeth that gradually become worn or flat
- Sensitivity or discomfort in the jaw joint
How we help
We usually begin gently with a night guard — a soft acrylic splint you wear while sleeping, shielding your teeth from wear. At the same time, we have a calm conversation about any underlying tension that may be contributing. If your teeth are already significantly worn, we will look together at how they can be restored.
Questions & answers
FAQ
How do I know if I grind my teeth?
If you wake up with a sore jaw, tension headaches, or notice your teeth feeling worn down, these may be signs. It most often happens during sleep, so many people only discover it during a check-up with us.
What can you do about it?
We make a night guard that you wear while sleeping, so your teeth are protected from grinding against each other. We also talk through what might be behind it — tension in the jaw is often linked to periods of stress.
