What is bruxism?

Answer by  danielhayes (20)

Bruxism is the habit of grinding one's teeth. It is one of the most common sleep disorders. It can cause many health problems including morning migraine, facial pain, insomnia and shortening and blunting of teeth. There is no single cure for it, but available treatments include mouthguards and, more controversially, botox injections to weaken the jaw muscles.

Bruxism is the tendency to grit and grind your teeth while sleeping. Often it can lead to damage to your teeth and damage to the TMJ joint in your jaw.
