Evidence notes preserved
- Association does not establish causation.
- Only one included study focused on adults.
- No women-specific meta-analysis.
- Proposed mechanisms such as stress, motor inhibition, sleep arousal, dopamine pathways, and medication are possible explanations rather than proven causes.
- Stimulant-related bruxism evidence is mixed and should not be framed as a reason to stop medication without prescriber review.
