My mom gets bruxism, so am i likely to get it later?

Not necessarily: There are many causes of bruxism, most of which are acquired. You inherited your teeth and their anatomy from both your parents, but this doesn't guarantee you'll have the same issues as they.

Bruxism: There are some studies that suggest that it is an inherited characteristic but others indicate there is no relationship.

Not necessarily: There may be some factors that are inherited but environment may be the most critical element...Stress, lifestyle, nutrition, dental care, etc.
