New study links airway size to nighttime teeth grinding

NCT ID NCT07511946

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how the size of the upper airway might influence teeth grinding (bruxism) during sleep in people with obstructive sleep apnea. Researchers will use safe, low-radiation 3D scans and sleep tests to measure airway volume and bruxism in 80 adults. The goal is to better understand the connection between these conditions, which could improve future care for sleep-related grinding.
