A member asked:
Has a permanent cure for bruxism been discovered yet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: There is no permanent cure for one who suffers from tmj/tmd, just maintenance. The same may apply to bruxism. Sure, removing the teeth will solve the problem in a way- a horrible way- but getting to the source of the cause of bruxism may lead to long-term maintenance.
