eritreaMar 29, 2014

Hello doctor, three years ago I developed bruxism due to a really high stress. I always had a really rounded face , ( with quite a lot of nice fat). My face lost a lot of volume ( fat) and I look quite different now. Could bruxism make my face sunk? I just buyed a splint for my teeth . Will my face get fat again? Thank you doctor, and sorry for my English I´m writting from Spain. Eva Gómez Santé
