Introduction – What is Bruxism?
Bruxism is the involuntary clenching of your jaw, identical to the type of clenching movement your jaw makes when chewing. Of course, all people chew while they eat. This natural jaw reflex is necessary for good oral health and digestion. Unfortunately, 30 to 40 million Americans suffer from involuntary bruxism, particularly while they sleep. Most of us refer to bruxism as ‘teeth clenching’ or ‘teeth grinding’. Bruxism may be mild or severe
