Are your shoulders hunched? Are your eyes squeezed tight? Are your teeth clenched shut? 😬
Take a moment to recognize the tension in your body. Are your shoulders hunched? Are your eyes squeezed tight? Are your teeth clenched shut?
There are two types of bruxism, said Katayoun Omrani, a dentist who specializes in orofacial pain at the Cedars-Sinai Pain Center in Los Angeles: awake bruxism and sleep bruxism. As the terms suggest, awake bruxism is when people clench their teeth while awake, and sleep bruxism is when they clench or grind them while asleep.
Smoking, drinking a lot of caffeine or alcohol, and acid reflux can also increase a person's risk of bruxism, she said. Despite suspicions that sleep apnea increased risk of sleep bruxism, a 2020 review published in the journal Sleep and Breathing did not find a conclusive link between the two.
