This happens because sleep apnea can cause involuntary forward jaw movement or persistent teeth clenching, which triggers bruxism.<\/p><p>Treatment primarily targets sleep apnea itself by keeping the airway open. CPAP devices or dentist-prescribed oral appliances are commonly used. To minimize the harmful effects of teeth grinding, night guards (splints) and stress management are also recommended.<\/p><div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_74 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/ar\/inkhtinaq-alnawm-walbruksizm\/#What_Is_Sleep_Apnea\" >What Is Sleep Apnea?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/ar\/inkhtinaq-alnawm-walbruksizm\/#Symptoms_of_Sleep_Apnea\" >Symptoms of Sleep Apnea<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/ar\/inkhtinaq-alnawm-walbruksizm\/#The_Connection_Between_Sleep_Apnea_and_Oral_Health\" >The Connection Between Sleep Apnea and Oral Health<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/ar\/inkhtinaq-alnawm-walbruksizm\/#Does_Sleep_Apnea_Cause_Teeth_Grinding\" >Does Sleep Apnea Cause Teeth Grinding?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/ar\/inkhtinaq-alnawm-walbruksizm\/#Protect_Your_Teeth_from_Night_Grinding\" >Protect Your Teeth from Night Grinding<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/ar\/inkhtinaq-alnawm-walbruksizm\/#How_Is_Sleep_Apnea_Treated\" >How Is Sleep Apnea Treated?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/ar\/inkhtinaq-alnawm-walbruksizm\/#What_Is_a_Sleep_Apnea_Oral_Appliance\" >What Is a Sleep Apnea Oral Appliance?<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/ar\/inkhtinaq-alnawm-walbruksizm\/#Sleep_Apnea_Oral_Appliance_Costs\" >Sleep Apnea Oral Appliance Costs<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/ar\/inkhtinaq-alnawm-walbruksizm\/#FAQ_About_Sleep_Apnea_and_Oral_Health\" >FAQ About Sleep Apnea and Oral Health<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Sleep_Apnea\"><\/span>What Is Sleep Apnea?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p>Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder characterized by interruptions or temporary pauses in breathing during sleep.
