Many dentist try to help tooth grinding patients. They make special dental implants. These implants, at best. save your teeth from grinding down at night. But they don't take your pain away.

So why do tooth grinding experts fail you?

It's not really their fault. This is a very complicated this condition. There is probably no one cause for all tooth grinding. Most likely, it's more like a combination of many factors.

What makes this even more complicated is, the factors are most likely both emotional and physical.

Some people begin to experience tooth grinding after an accident of some sort. Stress is an other trigger. But most of the time, doctors have no idea what really causes their patients tooth grinding. This can be very depressive for people who suffer this condition.

Okay, that's enough. Lets talk about what we DO KNOW!

We know for a fact, the jaw joints are always misplaced to some degree. Tiny misplacement can be enough to cause terrible pain. Some patients think the irritation is even worse than the pain. Here are some obvious symptoms...

* Clicking, popping jaw joints
* Grating sounds
* Jaw locking opened or closed
* Extreme pain in cheek muscles
* Uncontrollable jaw or tongue movements
* Clenching or grinding at night
* Discomfort or pain to any of these areas
* Limited opening
* Inability to open the jaw smoothly or evenly
* Jaw deviates to one side when opening
* Inability to "find bite" with teeth
* Frequent, migraine type headaches

... are just few obvious symptoms of tooth grinding.

What we also know is that the muscles around the jaw are always tense. Sometimes they're torn a little, sometimes they're sore, but they're always tense. Weak, tense muscles do not support the jaw in the right way and will actually push it out of position, making this big part of the problem.

The same thing happens when people suffering back problems. The back muscles are weak and tense. The problem may have begun by putting too much strain on the back or working in a wrong position. Or it may have begun with a small injury that didn't seem so bad at the time.

As self defense, the back muscles get tense to avoid the pain. This is unconscious and uncontrollable. That's why you often see people with back problem walk bent. The back pain becomes chronic when, the tension in the back muscles actually push the spine out of place. What was only supposed to be temporarily pain relief has caused serious condition.

I'm telling you this because tooth grinding develops the same way.

Your tooth grinding may have began as minor problem like short period of intense feelings or light bump on the jaw. Then as your jaw muscles get more tens and push the jaw out of position, it has developed into a major condition.

This, of course, causes series of problems.

The misplaced jaw causes unbalance between the left and the right jaw joints. It's like driving a car having one wheel turn left and the other right. You can imagine the strain this puts on the wheels and the steering. Well, you know the strain it puts on You.

Nerves get squeezed when the jaw joints are out of place. This is, for example, the reason many people suffering from tooth grinding experience loss of balance. The nerve system, controlling the jaw are directly connected to the nerves in the ear, where the function balancing your body takes place.

No muscle is an island. They're all connected, either directly or through the nerve system. If your jaw muscles get stiff, all the other muscles around it will tense up too. You've probably experienced your shoulders and neck become more tense, as your tooth grinding has grown worse. This is only one example.

But there are other muscles not as obvious. You may not have noticed all the small muscles in your head. Your throat and eye muscles. Your tongue. Your forehead. There are muscles all over the place and these muscles all get stiff too.

All this tension put together causes many of the secondary symptoms of tooth grinding. Including...

* arm and finger tingling, numbness and or pain
* pain of the hard palate in the mouth
* tongue pain
* voice fluctuations
* swallowing difficulties
* hissing, buzzing, ringing, or roaring sounds
* blurring of vision
* watering of the eyes
* swallowing difficulties

...and hundreds of other secondary symptoms, you may or may not have experienced your self.

There is no way to heal your tooth grinding, unless you loosen up and strengthen all the muscles connected to the jaw and the jaw muscles.

This can be done using simple, jet very powerful exercises:

1)The jaw exercises strengthen and loosen up the jaw muscles directly. As you practice these exercises, the jaw muscles stops pushing the jaw into wrong position. Instead, it guides the jaw joints into right place and that way heals your tooth grinding.

2)Consider how close the tongue is to the jaw. It's no wonder how important it is to remove any tension from this muscle. You do that using simple tongue exercises.

3)Most people never pay any attention to the muscles around the throat. These muscles play, however, a very important role in your body's function and need to be fit. The throat exercises will do just that. (see secondary throat symptoms).

4)The neck and shoulder muscles are directly connected to the Jaw muscles. These muscles are usually the first one to freeze when the jaw muscles get stiff. They can, however, easily be put back into regular function using powerful neck and shoulder exercises.

5)Don't underestimate the importance of breathing. Lack of oxygen flow to muscles weakens them and makes them stiff. One more contributing factor to tooth grinding. The breathing exercises inflate your muscles with oxygen, giving them extra boost to heal.

Thousands of people have already used these exercises to permanently cure their tooth grinding. Considering how complex this condition is, it's amazing how well they work for many people.

But before you celebrate, let me be brutally honest with you.

You won't be totally pain free over night (although it's amazing how quickly these exercises sometimes work). It will take some time to reverse the tension that has been building up in your muscles for long time (even before you noticed any symptoms.

It will also take some time for your jaw to gain the strain to guide your jaw joints into their healthy, natural position.
