Bruxism cause: The cause of bruxism is not well understood. It might be related to stress, sleep disorder, occlusal dysharmony, etc. Appliance can be made to minimize or eliminate the damage caused by these habits on teeth and jaw joints. Discuss this issue with your own general dentist and periodontist.

By a Mouth guard: To prevent grinding and it's pal clenching, i utilize a non compressable semi-soft guard. Your dentist can make one for you. A hard guard will let you clench and grind. The semi-soft allows you to clench initially, then it forces you open ever so slightly confusing muscles. Works well with many patients.!
