Bruxism, commonly known as tooth grinding, usually occurs while the
youngster is sleeping. Children are most prone to grinding their teeth
between the ages of 2 and 3, when the last of their primary teeth come in,
and between the ages of 9 and 12, when the last of their permanent teeth
are erupting. Once children have all their primary teeth or most of their
permanent teeth, the grinding usually comes to a halt. If after the age of 10
to 11 the grinding has not significantly lessened, that is a sign that the bite
is incorrect and an orthodontic exam should be performed. Although the
sound of grinding teeth can be quite disconcerting to the ears of parents,
the habit can be ignored under the age of 6 – unless there is a change in
the appearance of primary (baby) teeth. Once most of the permanent teeth
are erupted (age 11-13) or the final permanent teeth have their eruption
paths, and grinding has not stopped, the orthodontist should be consulted.
Misaligned teeth or stress could be the root of the problem.
Orthodontics is a special kind of dentistry involving the diagnosis, prevention
and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. The practice of orthodontics
involves the design, application, selection and control of corrective appliances
to treat and correct these problems.
Parents with any orthodontic concerns for their child should consult an
orthodontist concerning the need for orthodontic treatment. As a dental
specialist, an orthodontist has elected to limit their practice to this specific
area or expertise and has received additional training by an accredited dental
school for advanced education.
