In this podcast, Dr. Glenn Clark examines the relationship between adolescent bruxism (teeth grinding) and TMJ disc displacement. He explains how increased deep sleep in adolescents leads to more micro-arousals and frequent bruxism, creating repetitive strain on the TMJ's lateral collateral ligament. Over time, this stress causes ligament deformation and laxity, compromising joint stability and resulting in disc displacement.
