Bruxism is a medical condition in which you grind or clench your teeth. It is usually diagnosed as a sleep disorder, and left unchecked, bruxism can be severe enough to cause headaches, damaged teeth, jaw pain, severe tooth wear, and other problems.

• You are likely to relax more quickly and sleep more deeply.
• Protecting your teeth against bruxism now saves time, money—and teeth in the long run.
