Grinding at night gets all the attention, but plenty of people clench through the day instead — at a desk, in traffic, halfway through a deadline.
Your teeth are only meant to touch when you swallow or chew. Resting them together for hours on end means the jaw muscles never switch off, which is why the ache builds through the afternoon rather than first thing in the morning.
Dental Precinct assesses daytime clenching and the wear it leaves behind on your teeth.
🦷 Teeth apart at rest — lips together, jaw relaxed ✨ Wear patterns show whether it's happening by day, by night, or both 💬 Tension headaches and teeth that ache for no clear reason are common signs 🪥 Simple awareness cues can break the habit once you notice it
