BRUXISM is an involuntary act of clenching or grinding your teeth, especially during sleep.

Some people with bruxism unconsciously clench their teeth together during the day, often when they feel anxious or tense. This is different from tooth grinding or clenching that occurs at night, which is called sleep bruxism. Most children who are bruxers do so at night, while adults are either daytime or nighttime bruxers.

Bruxism can lead to jaw disorders, headaches, damaged teeth and other problems. Unfortunately, people with sleep bruxism usually aren't aware of the habit, so they aren't diagnosed with the condition until complications occur. That's why it's important to know the signs and symptoms of bruxism and to seek regular dental care.

BRUXISM is caused by stress and nervous tension, and may do serious harm to your teeth. The most visible damage is progressive wear, possibly with chipping, but most of all those who suffer may also have problems such as:

   - Jaw Joint Pain
   - Neck Pain
   - Vertigo and headaches

Furthermore bruxism is also one of the causes of parainsomnias (sleep disorders), which make night-time rest difficult and not restoring.

A more serious cause are Temporomandibular disorders — which occur in the temporomandibular joints (TMJs), located just in front of your ears and felt when opening and closing your mouth.

The TMJ connects the lower jaw to the skull (temporal bone) under your ear. Certain facial muscles control chewing. Problems in this area can cause head and neck pain, a jaw that is locked in position or difficult to open, problems biting, and popping sounds when you bite.

50% of the population - adults and children - suffer with or without being aware of it. Even sportsmen suffer, especially those who practice intense concentration sports, such as racing and motorbike drivers. In a nutshell, the greater the tension, the greater the bruxism.

• Diffuculty opening your mouth wide when you wake up
• Teeth grinding or clenching, which may be loud enough to wake your sleep partner
• Teeth that are worn down, flattened or chipped
• Worn tooth enamel, exposing the inside of your tooth
• Increased tooth sensitivity
• Jaw pain or tightness in your jaw muscles
• Earache — because of severe jaw muscle contractions, not a problem with your ear
• Headache
• Chronic facial pain
• Chewed tissue on the inside of your cheek
