A bruxism device!: A bruxism device is something that a patients wears when they feel they grind or clench their teeth. Usually it is worn at night because we tend to grind our teeth when we sleep. It helps relieve symptoms of pain and jaw ache. It allows the muscles and ligaments around the jaw to relax because the device keeps the teeth from grinding together.
