About bruxism

Bruxism is a common condition which typically affects children and is characterized by involuntary/habitual clenching and teeth grinding. Bruxism typically occurs during sleep, however some patients may experience bruxism while awake as well.

Why treat bruxism?

Bruxism is a condition that can actually have a major impact on the appearance, health and even function of your smile. Unconscious clenching and grinding can result in chips, cracks, fractures and even breaks in teeth. Patients may also experience uneven wearing of the teeth, making their smile appear uneven. Patients with bruxism also often experience jaw pain, facial pain and headaches due to the tension and pressure. Bruxism treatment also known as teeth grinding treatment can reduce your risk of complications associated with the clenching and grinding while also improving your day-to-day life.

When it comes to bruxism treatment, the ultimate goal is to prevent unconscious clenching and grinding. Typically mouthguards or other oral appliances are recommended, protecting the teeth from being damaged while also reducing the symptoms often experienced the next day. Botox is another treatment option that can relax the muscles in the jaw, resulting in a reduction of bruxism symptoms. Contact aesthetic and restorative dentistry for a bruxism consultation, we would be happy to determine the best treatment for you.
