Le bruxism<\/a> Teething is a condition that is often discreet, sometimes unconscious, but the consequences can be very real. Grinding or clenching your teeth, day or night, may seem harmless at first. However, when this phenomenon takes hold, it can affect much more than the teeth. Your jaw, muscles, joints, sleep, posture and even your emotional state can all be affected. By understanding the effects of bruxism, we can take action earlier and avoid lasting complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is bruxism?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bruxism is defined as\u00a0involuntary clenching or grinding of the teeth<\/strong>Most often during sleep, but sometimes during the day. It is generally associated with\u00a0hyperactivity of the masticatory muscles<\/strong>\u00a0and joint dysfunction temporo-mandibular <\/a>(ATM).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many causes: stress, anxiety, sleep disorders, postural imbalances, dental occlusion problems or neck tension. Bruxism is therefore a disorder multifactorial<\/strong>rarely limited to a single organ.<\/p>\n\n\n
