Teeth grinding (bruxism) is a common issue that can lead to jaw pain, headaches, and worn teeth. If you’re waking up sore or tired, grinding or clenching during sleep could be the cause.
The good news is there are simple ways to manage it and protect your teeth.
What Causes Teeth Grinding?
Teeth grinding is often linked to:
- Stress and anxiety
- Poor sleep quality
- Bite misalignment
- Snoring or mild sleep apnea
If left untreated, it can cause long-term damage to your teeth and jaw.

3. Improve Airflow While Sleeping
Snoring and restricted breathing can lead to clenching. A snore mouth guard can help keep your airway open and reduce this.
