When teeth grinding or clenching occurs on a regular basis, it is a medical condition called bruxism. The teeth, temporomandibular joints (TMJs), and/or jaw muscles can all be serious affected.
Often, chronic teeth grinding can result in fracturing, loosening, or even, losing your teeth. The chronic grinder may wear his or her teeth significantly, resulting in aesthetic problems and even more, changes in facial profile.
