Can misaligned wisdom teeth cause bruxism?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
No.: Misaligned teeth mainly are the result of discrepancy between size of the teeth and jaw along with abnormal vector and velocity of jaw growth.

Possibly: Third molars which almost always have inadequate room should be removed. Perhaps your bruxism will then go away. If bruxism continues then night guard s also.

No evidence: There is no evidence that would support the notion that tooth alignment causes bruxism.
