It might seem that supermodels have a fairly easy life \u2014 except for the fact that they are expected to look perfect whenever they\u2019re in front of a camera. Sometimes that\u2019s easy \u2014 but other times, it can be pretty difficult. Just ask Chrissy Teigen: Recently, she was in Bangkok, Thailand, filming a restaurant scene for the TV travel series The Getaway<\/em>, when some temporary restorations (bonding) on her teeth ended up in her food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As she recounted in an interview, \u201cI was\u2026 like, \u2018Oh my god, is my tooth going to fall out on camera?\u2019 This is going to be horrible.\u201d Yet despite the mishap, Teigen managed to finish the scene \u2014 and to keep looking flawless. What caused her dental dilemma? \u201cI had chipped my front tooth so I had temporaries in,\u201d she explained. \u201cI\u2019m a grinder. I grind like crazy at night time. I had temporary teeth in that I actually ground off on the flight to Thailand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like stress, teeth grinding is a problem that can affect anyone, supermodel or not. In fact, the two conditions are often related. Sometimes, the habit of bruxism (teeth clenching and grinding) occurs during the day, when you\u2019re trying to cope with a stressful situation. Other times, it can occur at night \u2014 even while you\u2019re asleep, so you retain no memory of it in the morning. Either way, it\u2019s a behavior that can seriously damage your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When teeth are constantly subjected to the extreme forces produced by clenching and grinding, their hard outer covering (enamel) can quickly start to wear away. In time, teeth can become chipped, worn down \u2014 even loose! Any dental work on those teeth, such as fillings, bonded areas and crowns, may also be damaged, start to crumble or fall out. Your teeth may become extremely sensitive to hot and cold because of the lack of sufficient enamel. Bruxism can also result in headaches and jaw pain, due in part to the stress placed on muscles of the jaw and face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may not be aware of your own teeth-grinding behavior \u2014 but if you notice these symptoms, you might have a grinding problem. Likewise, after your routine dental exam, we may alert you to the possibility that you\u2019re a \u201cbruxer.\u201d So what can you do about teeth clenching and grinding?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can suggest a number of treatments, ranging from lifestyle changes to dental appliances or procedures. Becoming aware of the behavior is a good first step; in some cases, that may be all that\u2019s needed to start controlling the habit. Finding healthy ways to relieve stress \u2014 meditation, relaxation, a warm bath and a soothing environment \u2014 may also help. If nighttime grinding keeps occurring, an \u201cocclusal guard\u201d (nightguard) may be recommended. This comfortable device is worn in the mouth at night, to protect teeth from damage. If a minor bite problem exists, it can sometimes be remedied with a simple procedure; in more complex situations, orthodontic work might be recommended.Teeth grinding at night can damage your smile \u2014 but you don\u2019t have to take it lying down! If you have questions about bruxism, please contact us<\/a> or schedule an appointment<\/a> for a consultation.
