Bruxism 101
“Many people are familiar with Bruxism. Bruxism has long been observed regardless of age or nationality and is characterized by an abnormal unconscious clenching of teeth. Everybody is a possible bruxer, and may not even know it. This may happen either during daytime or while sleeping as well. Those who do it while awake may not notice it at all, just as much as those who do it while asleep. Teeth grinding is similar to snoring except the second may just produce lower and quieter sounds than severe snores. Just like snoring or any other disturbing noise at hours of darkness, bruxism can be extremely unsettling.
