What are the symptoms of bruxism?

You have bruxism if you clench your teeth in your sleep or if some people warn you about this matter. This disorder comes with manifestations such as head, jaw-face, ears aches, tinnitus, jaw clicking, restriction of opening mouth, and aches, or shifts of the jaw. It is a disorder that continues for years without giving any clinical indication and it is a disorder that sometimes becomes acute. Dentists can easily notice that contraction of the teeth length is based on abrasion of the teeth’s cutting edge and that some thin cracks occur into the teeth’s surface when they treat the patients having this disorder. Besides, the patients have more hot and cold sensitivity based on the tissue of enamel becoming thinner. It is common to encounter problems such as breaking the enamels and restorations executed before.
