unconsciously and the rubbing pressure is several times bigger than the pressure when we bite the food. It may cause serious damage. Very often people suffering from prismos are not even aware of their behavior. Nowadays many people
struggle with this problem! Remember, even an ordinary rubbing may have serious consecuences!
