Teeth Grinding (Bruxism): Causes, Effects, and Treatment

Grinding While You Sleep

Bruxism affects many people, often without their awareness. Partners may hear it, or you may wake with jaw pain, headaches, or worn teeth.

Consequences of Grinding

Worn, flattened tooth surfaces. Cracked or broken teeth. TMJ disorders and jaw pain. Tension headaches. Disrupted sleep for you and your partner.

Treatment Options

Custom night guards protect teeth from grinding forces. Stress management helps if anxiety is a trigger. Treatment of underlying sleep disorders may help. In severe cases, Botox relaxes jaw muscles.
