Childhood bruxism is often the result of a misaligned bite, while stress is more of a factor for teens and adults. The involuntary act of grinding the teeth together or clenching the jaw during sleep is more common among children, while competitive, aggressive Type A personalities may be at higher risk for Awake Bruxism. Most children will simply outgrow the habit or dentists may recommend relaxation therapies/mouthguards for adult patients who continue to experience bruxism.
