Night Guard: Treatment for Tension and Grinding

Many people clench or grind their teeth, especially during sleep - this is called bruxism. Over a long period of time, bruxism can wear down tooth surfaces. The main cause is muscle tension brought on by stress. It may come and go throughout your life.

The “easiest” way to stop bruxism is to become aware of it. Notice when you are clenching or grinding, and simply try to relax.
