CLENCHING & GRINDING

Picture
Bruxism is a disorder that affects upto 80% of the population at some point during their lives. Bruxism is the grinding of teeth and clenching of the jaw that causes tooth wear, breakages, Temporomandibular Joint disorders (pain and limited movement of the jaw joint), migraines and headache. Both children and adults are affected and is most common in adults over 25 year old. Most people grind and/or clench their teeth occasionally and is usually worse during stressful periods.

TREATMENT OPTIONS

There are many ways to manage Bruxism, the most common treatment is with Occlusal splints (Dental Appliances). There are many other therapies and treatments available but are generally seen as less effective. Occlusal splints are generally designed to act as a mechanical separation of the teeth and may be as simple as a Soft mouthguard. Other dental treatments may also be considered as treatment, such as equilibration (grinding away tooth surface to make the teeth fit together better), orthodontics or crowns and veneers.
