What is nocturnal bruixism?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Grinding: You teeth at night. Get a night guard. I recommend the NTI appliance to all my patients because it's less bulky than other night guards and leads to better compliance. I've been wearing mine for 10 years!

Grinding: Nocturnal bruxism, nighttime (while asleep) grinding/gnashing of teeth, as well as severe clenching, can cause damage to teeth, gums, bone, muscles and jaw joints. Please consult with your Dentist.

Can children wear night guards? Our seven year old son grinds his teeth at night, and i've worn a night guard for bruxism for many years as an adult. Do they have the same things for kids, and if so, do they have to always get new ones due to growth?
