Answer:

was part of psychosexual development

Step-by-step explanation:

Bruxism refers to the teeth clenching/grinding when a person is not chewing or swallowing. Many different reasons have been proposed to explain the clinical reasons related to bruxism. For example, Moritz Karolyi was an Austrian dentist that described bruxism as a type of traumatic neuralgia. Moreover, Freud proposed that bruxism should be associated with the psychosexual development and behavior of the individual. Sigmund Freud was a neurologist popularly known as the founder of psychoanalysis. From this point of view, several studies aimed to investigate psychosocial causes of bruxism have been developed.
