What does it mean if you grind your teeth at night?!


Question: While you are sleeping.


Answers: While you are sleeping.

It is called bruxism. You clench your jaw and grind your teeth. You can also do this while you are awake and extremely focused or stressed. If your jaw muscles ache in the morning, it is because you are grinding your teeth. You need to see your general dentist or an orthodontist for a night guard. This is similar to the guard football players wear, but don't buy one over the counter. Your dentist or orthodontist will make one specifically to fit your teeth.

it means that you clinch your jaw and rub your teeth together like you are chewing on food. it is bad for your teeth, I did it when I was younger, and now my teeth are really small and spaced far apart, and they are very sensitive.

It means you are dreaming of the boogey man....or something else could be troubling you to make you grind your teeth. This can lead to damage to your teeth. Your dentist will suggest a $100 mouth guard fit for your mouth, but go to WalMart or Target and by a sports mouth guard for a couple of bucks and cut off the extra piece that clamps to the helmet. Works the same.

I do the same thing. it's either because ure under a lot of stress or you think of unpleasant thngs while sleeping. Dentists recommend a mouth guard to keep you from doing that

only bad for your teeth
