Waking up with a sore jaw, headaches, or neck tension like @bekscollins (on TikTok)? 🥱💥
Many people think grinding your teeth at night (also known as bruxism) damages enamel. I want you to know it can negatively impact your jaw joints and the muscles of the head, neck, and jaw!
Nighttime grinding can be a physical sign that your body is compensating for an imbalance in your bite or because of a constricted airway. When you clench or grind for long periods night after night, your jaw joints and muscles absorb intense forces they weren’t designed to handle.
The result?
❌ Chronic muscle fatigue & spasms
❌ Radiating jaw, head, neck, and shoulder pain
❌ Damaged teeth and joint compression
Store-bought mouthguards only protect your teeth, but they don't fix the root cause. I like to look at the whole picture, evaluating your airway, joint alignment, and muscle activity to create custom TMJ Orthotics that bring your system back into harmony.
