Grinding or clenching can be triggered by several factors, including:
High stress levels or anxiety often lead to unconscious clenching or grinding during sleep, making it one of the most common triggers of nighttime teeth grinding.
Sleep issues such as sleep apnea or frequent disturbances can increase the risk of teeth grinding, especially during disrupted or restless sleep cycles.
When teeth don't align properly, it can lead to uneven pressure during chewing or at rest, which may trigger grinding or clenching over time.
Gaps or misaligned teeth can cause uneven pressure while biting or chewing, leading to increased strain and a higher chance of grinding or clenching.
Finding the root cause is key, but in the meantime, a custom night guard can protect your teeth and help relieve discomfort.
Do you wake up with headaches, jaw pain, or tooth sensitivity? You might be grinding or clenching your teeth at night—a condition known as bruxism. Many people aren’t even aware they grind their teeth, but the damage can be serious.
