Some people always grind their teeth during daytime and some others during night time. These people grind their teeth unknowingly. The medical term for grinding the teeth is called bruxism. Bruxism can be caused due to stress, medications etc., According to the research, bruxism is common on people who snore. Snore occurs when our tongue, uvula etc., may relax and fall back of our throat, blocking the air pathway and cause difficulty in breathing. Now, bruxism reopens the pathway. Bruxism or grinding of teeth causes movement in the relaxed muscles(tongue). Due to which the muscles return back to their original positions. Thus, opening the air pathway.
