It means you grind your teeth in your sleep...there is no "meaning" to it.

What does grinding tour teeth in your sleep mean ?
It's often a sign of stress.....it's not good, tho.
Reply:Probably some nervous condition.
Reply:stress , worries %26amp; anxiety
Reply:It usually means that you are stressed a lot, if it doesn't stop you need to go to the doctor and get a spepcial mouth gard, because my brother used to do it a lot and ground his wisdom teeth in and he had to have them surgically removed.
Reply:There is a name for it but I cannot remember it. However I do the same thing and I have been told by my dentist that it is only bad if you are grinding down your teeth. But many people do this and some think it is do to stress or anxiety.


I really do not know at this point and I do not think that anyone else does either.
Reply:Usually that you are stressed out, you can get a guard from your dentist so you don't ruin your teeth. I used to do this as well, and my jaw clicks all the time now.
Reply:I do this alot, my dentist said stress. I notice I do it if I have a really BAD day at work or my kids are driving me batty! I broke 2 of my molars doing this. i have since gotten a mouth guard and hopefully wont have anymore injury. When I would wake up after a night of doing this, my jaws and teeth would really hurt! Some times my cheeks as well if I bit them really hard!
Reply:you are stressed, i do it and now wear a hard night splint and it is working
Reply:It is called bruxism, i am having treatment for it at the moment, all to no avail, you may try a gumshield nightguard but that may encourage you to clench harder but it is worth a try, you could also try hypnotherapy to learn how to relax, that didnt work for me either, or you could try a muscle relaxant ie a chinese herbal medicine or something stronger like tamazapam, that also hasn't worked, lots of people say it is stress but ive never really been a stressed out kind of person, so i would have to disagree, i have also heard botox helps so i am going to give that a go in a few weeks.
Reply:Stress or habit, or both
Reply:If the bite is wrong due to caps / dentures you will grind teeth in trying to get a comfortable position of the jaw.
