Grinding, Wear & Bite Forces

Teeth don’t just break because of “bad enamel.” Most damage comes from forces repeated over time — often during sleep.

Why grinding matters

Grinding can speed up wear, crack teeth, and overload dental work. It’s often a silent multiplier.

Bite is physics

Alignment, missing teeth, and uneven contact can shift where forces land. That changes what fails first.

Protection isn’t one-size-fits-all

Guards help, but the goal is not just “a guard.” The goal is reducing harmful force patterns over time.

Where this section is going

We’ll expand with guides on wear patterns, night guards, sleep connection, and how missing teeth change the system.
