Modern life induces many stresses. One of the ways we cope with stress is by grinding our teeth in our sleep.

This process of "parafunctional bruxism" is a subconscious activity that we have little or no control over. The results are excessive tooth wear, jaw muscle soreness and clicking jaw joints. The most frequent manifestations are disturbed sleep and tension-type headaches. If you are aware that you grind or clench your teeth, or if you suffer from any of the above symptoms, simple occlusal therapy utilising a grinding guard is a conservative and effective method of treating this problem.
