Bruxism, or chronic teeth grinding, is not rated by the VA as a standalone disability—but that doesn't necessarily mean it can't affect your VA disability benefits.
In this video, VA-accredited attorney Montana Crow explains how bruxism may qualify as a secondary service-connected condition when it's caused by PTSD, anxiety, or another service-connected disability. She also discusses how the VA evaluates jaw conditions, tooth loss, and the evidence that may help support a claim.
