Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

Clenching anterior teeth primarily may be due to-crossbite,posterior open bite,TMJ dislocation.

I would advice you to get a thorough clinical as well as OPG investigation done for the jaws.

Based on the radiographs,position as well as alignment of each teeth and treatment plan can be evaluated.

To prevent the habit of bruxism ,habit breaking appliances has to be placed.

Meanwhile,maintain oral care.

Hope this suffices.

Take care.

Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

Clenching of teeth is medically termed as Bruxism it occurs due to various reasons few are stress, posterior cross bite, TMJ problems, bad dreams, sleep disorders.
Clenching of teeth causes TMJ disturbances, muscle pain, wear of teeth surfaces and hypersnesitivity.

Bruxism is treated with a appliance called as NIGHT GUARDS.
I would suggest you to visit to an Dentist and get the examination done.
Take an OPG rdaiograph.
If necessary take impressions of both the jaws.

Avoid anxiety and stress.
Take complete balanced diet.
Start with multivitamin suplements.
Maintain a good oral hygiene.

Hope this helps out,

Regards...
