Unquestionably bruxism can exert extremely powerful forces on teeth, gums, and joints.
Estimates of just how substantial those force can be have ranged from three times the forces required to chew food to as much as ten times - said to be enough to "crack a walnut."
Among the reason for such extraordinary force is that bruxism is not under the control of the conscious brain, which would act to moderate or prevent such actions. It is essentially an unconscious behaviour.
So why does it happen? The underlying causes of bruxism can be anger – especially unresolved anger, as well stress or anxiety, which inevitable presents in a wide variety of ways.
Fortunately hypnotherapy offers a truly effective means for first identifying the origins of the problem which cause the teeth grinding - then provides a ranges of therapeutic solutions for overcoming the problems.
