Bruxism Explained: Teeth Grinding, Jaw Clenching, and Their Impact on Oral Health

Bruxism is a common condition involving involuntary teeth grinding or jaw clenching, often occurring during sleep but sometimes during waking hours. Many people are unaware they grind or clench their teeth until symptoms develop or signs are identified during a dental examination.

At Brisbane Smile Boutique, bruxism is assessed as part of a broader evaluation of bite function, jaw health, and long-term dental stability.
