Bruxism (Teeth Grinding) Treatment

Restoring Comfort and Peace of Mind

What is Bruxism?

Bruxism, more commonly known as teeth grinding, is a condition where a person excessively grinds or clenches their teeth, typically during sleep, although it can happen at any time of day. It is more than just a habit; it’s a serious condition that can lead to significant dental and health issues over time.

The Consequences of Bruxism

If you’ve ever woken up with a sore jaw or a headache, you might be experiencing bruxism. Continuous teeth grinding can result in:

Wear and tear of the teeth, leading to sensitivity and decay
Chips or fractures in your teeth
Facial pain and chronic headaches
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, causing jaw pain and difficulty moving the jaw
Disruptions in sleep quality for you or a partner

How We Can Help

At Creative Arts Dental Laboratory, we understand that bruxism is more than an annoying habit — it’s a real health concern. That’s why we offer a range of treatment options tailored to your specific needs. Our treatments aim to:

Reduce pain and discomfort
Prevent further tooth damage
Help you enjoy a better night’s sleep
Improve the alignment of your bite, if misalignment is contributing to your bruxism

Treatment Options

Depending on the severity of your condition and the underlying causes, treatment for bruxism may include:

Custom-made Night Guards

These devices, made from durable plastic, are designed to fit your teeth perfectly. They act as a cushion, absorbing the force of grinding and clenching, thereby protecting your teeth and jaw.

Dental Correction

In cases where bruxism is caused by an abnormal bite, dental treatment, such as adjusting the biting surfaces of your teeth or orthodontics, may be recommended.

Stress Reduction Techniques

Since stress is a common trigger for bruxism, we might suggest relaxation methods such as yoga, meditation, or counseling.

Medication

In some cases, prescription medications that help to reduce or prevent clenching and grinding may be used as part of a treatment plan.
