Snoring and Sleep Apnoea remain the most common cause of Teeth Grinding. It is important to understand snoring is when tissues in the airway relax enough to partially block the airway while Sleep Apnoea is the physical blockage of the airway leading to pauses in breathing. When someone is snoring or experiencing Sleep Apnoea, the act of moving the jaw forward and teeth grinding is the body’s response to reopening the airway.
