Have
you ever stared at the mirror and noticed that your teeth appear…wrecked? You
see chips, jagged lines, and all other qualities that denote physical damage.
On top of that, you also feel a bit of pain. If you’ve experienced all that,
then you might be suffering from a condition known as bruxism, a.k.a. teeth
grinding.
Bruxism,
in a nutshell, is one of the most common sleep disorders and may occur even
without the person knowing. Over time, the constant grinding and clenching
shorten and blunt the teeth, leading to obvious physical damage, facial muscle
pain, headaches, and a condition known as Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction,
TMJ, or TMD.
