Grinding of the teeth during sleep or bruxism, is a very common occurrence. Many believe that there is little evidence that it is associated with other medical or psychological problems. However, some authorities believe that it may be related to some stress in life. In some cases where teeth are being worn out, oral appliances are used to reduce dental injury. Bruxism may also cause sleep fragmentation and disturbance, resulting in daytime sleepiness and poor concentration during the day.
