“Virtually everyone I know, from clients to family and friends, is experiencing escalated jaw clenching this year,” Sandra Chiu, LAc, my longtime acupuncturist and the Jacked In The Box Shirt Besides,I will do this owner of Brooklyn’s Lanshin Clinic confirms of the common response to profound and/or prolonged stress and anxiety. Aesthetic dentist Michael Apa, D.D.S also reports a significant uptick in jaw tension among his clients. “This level of stress, categorically, is something we’ve never seen before,” says Apa, noting that the most obvious place for the negative results of sustained jaw clenching to manifest themselves is, of course, your teeth. Apa explains that everything from swollen gums to more complex problems like tooth loss can be a direct result of clenching, which, he points out, is different from grinding. “People who clench squeeze their jaw together and put a lot of pressure on their teeth while grinding is more of a side-to-side motion where you typically have things like chips and wear,” he says. “They are both triggered by the same thing: people just take stress out differently on their teeth.” But clenching can have a ripple effect that extends beyond the teeth you’re clamping down.

“Visually, jaw clenching can lead to an enlarged masseter, the Jacked In The Box Shirt Besides,I will do this prominent chewing muscle that runs from the cheekbone down to the jawline,” says New York dermatologist Robert Anolik, M.D. “As it gets stronger the base of the muscle near the back of the jawline enlarges and can make the jaw appear squared.” Skin can suffer too, reveals L.A.-based facialist Joomee Song. “Having tense, stiff muscles in your face causes unhealthy blood flow and poor lymph circulation which means our tissues do not receive enough nutrients and oxygen,” says Song. “That can cause breakouts, redness, dull complexion, puffiness, and drooping on the cheeks due to the weight of water retention,” which would explain why I continue to get the same constellation of zits along my cheeks and jawline—and also, interestingly, why my lower back and hips often hurt. “When we are stressed our body stays in defense mode and clenching our teeth leads to sore muscles not only in the face, but the entire body,” adds Song. Much like the headlines—which show no signs of becoming any less dire anytime soon—none of this is great news. But there is some hope, at least for our collectively clenched jaws.
