ANTI-CLAW TRAY
Teeth grinding is excessive clenching or clenching of teeth, usually during sleep (unconsciousness). Because the force used in this movement is many times greater than the force generated when chewing, teeth grinding not only creates uncomfortable sounds for people around, but also causes tooth wear.
