In general bruxism can be classified into two types “day time bruxism” which occurs during day and “nocturnal bruxism” which occurs during night. Although bruxism is considered to be just a habit, increase in frequency of episodes and severity in muscle contractions can lead to severe jaw disorders, headaches, tooth wear resulting in mobility. Till now bruxism has been the most underrated habit among patients until complications occur due to the lack of information regarding the signs and symptoms and the importance of when to seek medical advice.
