Stiffness
Another possible sign of teeth grinding is the stiffness or swelling around your face. This is because excessive bruxism could damage and irritate the occlusal surfaces of your teeth, especially the molars. Over time, the nerves and muscles get inflamed and lead to stiffness. In some worse cases, the condition can even result in temporomandibular disorder, a serious condition that affects the movement of your jaw. Fortunately, the health issue would improve itself over time. [2]
