Posted on 23. Apr, 2010 by Ben in Grinding Teeth
Night guards for your teeth are great for bruxers. Night guards help to reduce the health problems caused by teeth clenching and teeth grinding, such as the following:
- Stop grinding
- Improve breathing
- Protect teeth and dental work from damage caused by clenching and grinding
- Ease aching in neck and shoulders
- Reduce headaches
- Reduce stress on jaw joints
- Reduce tension in jaw muscles
- Reduce discomfort during sleep
- Reduce chipping, fractures, excessive wear, and loosening of the teeth
- Reduce snoring

Hi, my name's Ben, and I'm a long-time sufferer of bruxism - a condition in which I grind on my teeth all night long, causing me to wake up with a sore jaw and have occasional headaches. I started this site to journal my experience with bruxism and my progress to finding a cure.
