In todays hectic high pressure world, it might be your teeth and jaws that bear the brunt of a stressful period in your life. Times of stress can precipitate tooth clenching or grinding. This can happen during the day and especially at night. Many people also clench and grind for neurological reasons which may not involve stress. Bite problems may also contribute to this.

All this clenching and grinding can make life very hard for your teeth, muscles and jaws. Some people suffer from headaches and migraines on a regular basis, some people can wear down their teeth or cause tooth pain or even chipped teeth and fractures. People who clench or grind at night can put forces on their teeth, jaws and muscles which are up to six times those of normal daytime forces.

Tooth wear should be examined and restored if necessary as this can become  advanced, having very adverse effects on a persons appearance and oral health.
