Tooth grinding

-Not sure if this is someone deliberately grinding, or if it is a recording of a person with bruxism. Not sure it is suitable for the article... Lesion (talk) 21:50, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Tongue and oral posture to cure bruxism

Here are a couple sources that claim by keeping the tongue on the roof of the mouth it can counter act the force of the masseters, and balance each other to eliminate jaw tension and bruxism:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15747813

http://claimingpower.com/dr-mike-mew-2014-presentation-adult-cases-ncr-facemax-bruxism-and-its-affect-on-lower-jaw/

Bottlefeeding, sucking on a pacifier, and mouth breathing when young conditions the tongue to stay on the bottom of the mouth when it's natural position should be against the palate.

The proper way is to get the posterior 3rd of the tongue onto the top palate, even to the point of slightly blocking your windpipe, not just the front of the tongue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hompo2015 (talk • contribs) 07:27, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The first source is primary and should be used with caution, see wp:medrs for more info. It is preferable to use review papers, mainstream textbooks, etc. Second source certainly appears unreliable. I suggest this concept relates more to temporomandibular disorder. Matthew Ferguson (talk) 15:20, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wobbly definition

A short description has been added: "Disorder that involves involuntarily grinding or clenching of the teeth".

Bruxism does not always occur during sleep. When it occurs during consciousness, I'm not sure there's a hard-and-fast boundary between voluntary and involuntary (otherwise people with TMJD would have no success in consciously minimising occlusal contact when not eating.
