Hello... can u upload me a video of it so I can see exactly how he does it??? Usually it is normal. But it’s never wrong to have a second opinion . As the old saying goes .. “ too much of anything is good for nothing!!” Is the problem quite frequent or it happens once a day??? Can u see any toughness along the teeth edges? Please upload a pic of his teeth edges so I have a look at it ( cause increased and long time bruxism can cause dental problems) how long does he sleep and does he get up in the middle of the night???
Next Steps
Kindly consult me if u need my further assistance. This can be countered if we try out some tips .
