Adults sleep and grind their teeth. What's going on?

Adults sleep molars are mainly related to mental psychological factors, disharmony of occlusion, central nervous system dysfunction and other factors.

1. Mental psychological factors

If adults are in a state of mental stress, anxiety, and stress for a long time, the cerebral cortex is still in an excited state during sleep, which may lead to involuntary contraction of masticatory muscles and molars.

2. The disharmony of occlusion may

cause masticatory muscles to contract continuously to achieve occlusal balance through nerve reflex mechanisms.

3. Central nervous system dysfunction

Some nervous system diseases or endocrine disorders may affect the control of masticatory muscles by the cerebral cortex, leading to molars.

If molars are frequent and symptoms are serious, it is recommended to seek medical advice in time for comprehensive examination and diagnosis in order to take targeted treatment measures, such as psychological counseling, adjustment of occlusion, treatment of related diseases, etc. At the same time, maintaining good living habits and psychological state can also help reduce the occurrence of molars.
