Bruxism is the medical word for grinding your teeth. It&#8217;s a common problem that can lead to serious consequences, including tooth loss and jaw pain.<\/p>    <p>So what causes it? Well, there are a few different factors that can contribute to bruxism, including:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Stress and anxiety<\/li>    <li>Mouth breathing during sleep<\/li>    <li>Gum disease<\/li>    <li>Tooth sensitivity<\/li>    <li>Jaw misalignment<\/li>    <li>Clenching habits such as nail-biting or pen-chewing<\/li> <\/ul>    <h2 id=\"how-do-you-know-if-you-grind-your-teeth\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you know if you grind your teeth?<\/h2>    <p>It isn&#8217;t always easy to tell if you grind your teeth or clench your jaw. That&#8217;s because we are generally asleep when we do it, or it&#8217;s become second nature and we don&#8217;t even notice it!<\/p>   <div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <figure class=\"alignright

bruxism, your dentist will look for signs of wear on your teeth and jawbone (the grinding can cause these surfaces to wear down), as well as soreness in your mouth or jaw.<\/p>    <p>Your dentist may even ask you to keep a journal of when you grind your teeth so they can see if there are any patterns or triggers for the behaviour. <\/p>    <p>In the following video, Dr Pratish Dholakia explains

Luckily, not much! The only thing we would recommend is using the aligner trays that are designed specifically for people who grind their teeth (these will be more durable). Other than that, just follow the instructions as usual and don&#8217;t worry about it!<\/p>    <p>If you&#8217;re interested in getting Invisalign treatment, talk with your dentist about grinding habits and how they might affect your treatment plan.<\/p>    <h2 id=\"can-invisalign-aligners-cause-you-to-grind-your-teeth\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can Invisalign aligners cause you to grind your teeth?<\/h2>   <div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/invisalign-fitting-aligners-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"invisalign teeth grinding\" class=\"wp-image-27831\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/invisalign-fitting-aligners-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/invisalign-fitting-aligners-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/invisalign-fitting-aligners-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/invisalign-fitting-aligners-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/invisalign-fitting-aligners.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Speak to your Invisalign doctor if you have concerns about teeth grinding with Invisalign<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>   <p>Invisalign aligners are designed to move your teeth into their desired position. They are made of a plastic material that will not break or chip easily, which makes them ideal for moving teeth.<\/p>    <p>Some people may <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/invisalign-invisible-braces\/does-invisalign-hurt\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"29172\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">experience discomfort<\/a> wearing the aligners because they are new to having something in their mouth all day long, but this should subside within about three weeks.<\/p>    <p>However, there are some cases of <strong>Invisalign teeth grinding<\/strong>. This is where, on very rare occasions, the aligners actually cause excessive teeth grinding. It can be caused by improper placement of the aligners or from an improper bite alignment.<\/p>    <p>If your dentist notices that you&#8217;re grinding your teeth excessively, they will be able to adjust your treatment plan accordingly so that it doesn&#8217;t become a problem again in the future.<\/p>    <h2 id=\"conclusion\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>    <p>It is possible to <strong>get Invisalign aligners if you grind your teeth<\/strong>. Of course, this will depend on your treatment eligibility. <\/p>    <p>If you grind your teeth at night and are interested in getting Invisalign treatment then the best thing to do is make an appointment with an Invisalign provider. They will be able to assess your teeth and mouth to see if you&#8217;re a candidate for treatment, and how your bruxism may affect that.<\/p>    <p>If you don&#8217;t always display symptoms of bruxism, there is no reason to think that you will grind your teeth excessively as a result of getting Invisalign treatment. On the other hand, if you do grind your teeth, you should inform your Invisalign provider. This will help them to make your treatment plan accordingly.<\/p>    <p>It is quite possible that Invisalign aligners will help you feel relief from teeth grinding in the same way a mouthguard would.
