Bruxism is a condition involving jaw clenching or teeth grinding, which can occur during the day or at night. It can lead to jaw pain, headaches, and dental damage over time. Commonly triggered by stress, anxiety, or conditions such as sleep apnea, bruxism can be classified into two types:
- Static Bruxism: Clenching the teeth.
- Dynamic Bruxism: Grinding the teeth.
While bruxism can affect people of all ages, it is particularly common among young adults and working professionals, often due to stress-related triggers.
