Question: Is there a connection between sleep bruxism and obstructive sleep apnea? Does therapy for sleep apnea (NCPAP) reduce bruxism?
My husband has severe problems with chronic teeth grinding (bruxism) at night. He feels tired all day and he snores terribly (We have seperate bedrooms!). Is snoring a reason for bruxism?
