Dental experts estimate that close to 20% of the adult population suffers from the effect of grinding and clenching at any given time with an estimated 20-50% of the population suffering from Bruxing. The main reason people clench and grind their teeth is due to stress. Clenching and grinding not only causes excessive wear on teeth, but daily stress (long term and short term) can cause the facial muscles to overwork and become sore.

Females tend to show the effects of clenching and grinding first by exhibiting sore facial and neck muscles.
