Bruxism, more commonly known as teeth grinding, is a condition where you clench or grind your teeth, often unconsciously and usually during sleep. This can lead to significant wear and damage to your teeth, as well as other oral health issues.
Prevents Tooth Damage: Custom-fitted night guards protect your teeth from the effects of grinding, reducing wear and the risk of fractures.
Reduces Jaw Pain and Discomfort: By alleviating the pressure of clenching, night guards can also reduce jaw pain and the likelihood of developing TMJ disorders.
Improves Sleep Patterns: Correcting bruxism can lead to more restful sleep by reducing the disruptive nature of teeth grinding.
Corrects Bite Issues: Dental adjustments can correct bite irregularities, addressing one of the potential causes of bruxism.
Our Bruxism Correction services are essential for anyone suffering from teeth grinding, especially those experiencing discomfort or damage to their teeth. Protecting your teeth with a custom-fitted night guard and correcting underlying bite issues can significantly improve your oral health and overall quality of life.
The process for addressing bruxism typically begins with a thorough examination to assess the extent of tooth wear and identify any related issues like misaligned bite. If a night guard is deemed necessary, impressions of your teeth will be taken to create a guard that fits perfectly. This guard is worn during sleep and is designed to comfortably fit over your teeth, providing protection and preventing grinding. Additionally, if bite adjustments are required, these can be made to ensure your teeth align properly, reducing the stress on your jaw.
