In this episode of The Smile Effect, we unpack the “Gen Z Burnout Loop” — the cycle where stress disrupts sleep, sleep deprivation heightens anxiety, and it may show up physically through jaw clenching and teeth grinding.
We explore why this is becoming increasingly common, how it impacts your oral and overall health, and the subtle signs you might be missing.
