Would this be the cause!

Would you know any reason why my 8 year old daughter grinds her teeth while sleeping? She has a large overbite. Would this be the cause?

Grinding her teeth while sleeping can be harmful for her teeth as well for her jaws which can lead to further complications. The best thing to do is to take her to a doctor or a dentist who will provide her with a mouth guard to wear while sleeping.
