BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENTIt is the involuntary habit of grinding or clenching teeth without functional purpose. It is very common in the population and can lead to pain, severe tooth wear, and/or TMJ (temporomandibular joint) problems.
It is estimated that up to 40% of the population unconsciously clenches or grinds their teeth at night. The cause is multifactorial, with stress, the patient's facial structure, malocclusion, or the nervous system being some of the contributing factors.
Bruxism, or teeth clenching, can lead to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction or disorder, with associated symptoms such as pain in the jaw, face, neck, and head; limited movement or locking of the jaw; joint noises like clicking or popping when moving the jaw; difficulty or pain when chewing; and stiffness in the jaw muscles.
It can also cause severe tooth wear, which may lead to tooth sensitivity, changes in bite, and premature tooth loss.
The most common treatment for bruxism and joint problems involves occlusal splints. Our clinic has specialists in this field, and we use digitally designed splints that are more comfortable for patients. The personalized design and adjustment of these splints are crucial for successful treatment.
Many people experience bruxism without being aware of it, which is why we recommend visiting a dentist for a personalized diagnosis and treatment of this condition with a multidisciplinary approach.
We are committed to answering all your questions as quickly as possible.
