As nocturnal clenching occurs unconsciously, it is the one that produces the most symptoms, as neither the teeth, muscles nor the temporomandibular joint (known anatomically as TMJ and commonly known as the jaw joint) are prepared to receive the type of movement that is made when grinding, nor the force with which it is made.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_840\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-840\" style=\"width: 182px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.velezylozano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/bruxismo-nocturno-rechinamiento-dental.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-840\" alt=\"Nocturnal bruxism is of great importance as it is beyond the patient&#039;s control.\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.velezylozano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/bruxismo-nocturno-rechinamiento-dental.jpg?resize=182%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"182\" height=\"300\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-840\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nocturnal bruxism is of great importance as it is beyond the patient's control.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The most common and visible manifestation for the bruxist patient is tooth wear, causing tooth sensitivity, cracks or even fractures of the teeth, as well as the deterioration and even loosening of fillings.
