Hi,

Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.

Grinding teeth is usually common during nights in some people and it is called bruxism.

Grinding teeth in day time is uncommon and it is suggestive of extreme bruxism.

Bruxism is related to daytime anxiety, stress and needs psychiatric evaluation and intervention.

Grinding also leads to overbite. Over bite may be due to your jaw built and structure.

Because of grinding, the teeth get attrition leading to pain and sensitivity of teeth.

At the same time grinding will cause damage to underlying bone, ligaments, and soft tissue causing loosening of teeth to a different degree varying from mild to severe.

The pain and sensitivity of teeth are helped by using sensodine and using fluoride rinses.

My advise is :

To get treated for grinding teeth as it is the main reason for all your symptoms.

If you are stressed, having anxiety, go for relieving techniques with the help of a psychiatrist.

If the grinding is severe, habit correction with habit breaking appliances may be required.

Overbite, if it is due to grinding will correct with the measures taken to treat bruxism.

But if the overbite is due to jaw structure and alignment, it requires orthodontic correction.

Therefore I advise you to consult the dental surgeon for the examination of oral cavity to assess the teeth attrition, sensitivity, degree of overbite, and advise you a proper management plan.

Hope I have answered your query, if you have any clarification please let me know.

Regards.
