Bruxism is NOT a disorder — it’s a behaviour!
Think of bruxism like a fever. Anyone can get a fever, but a fever itself isn’t a diagnosis — it’s a sign that something else is happening.

 Teeth are the victims, not the cause
It’s time to stop blaming the bite. Vertical dimension and occlusion play a minimal role in bruxism management.

 It’s neurological — and we’ve known it for nearly 30 years
Sleep bruxism is a neurological event, proven since 1996 by world-leading research from Dr. Gilles Lavigne.

 Dentistry needs a broader lens
To truly help patients, dentists must explore the neurological and psychosocial factors behind bruxism — and integrate these insights into treatment planning.
Since incorporating mental health strategies and collaborating with counsellors/hypnotherapists, I’ve helped more patients — often without a single splint!

 In children, the story is different
Paediatric bruxism (not linked to OSA) often stems from psychosocial stressors like toxic family environments or school bullying — areas we, as dentists, aren’t typically trained to identify.

Join us to rethink bruxism from the ground up. Gain practical strategies, challenge outdated assumptions, and expand your ability to help patients where it matters most.
