Bruxism, Temporomandibular articulation (ATM) and Occlusion
Bruxism is characterized by involuntary clenching of the jaw and grinding of the teeth. If left untreated, this habit leads to tooth wear, tooth sensitivity and headaches,
among other problems.
Treating Bruxism
The standard treatment for bruxism consists of wearing a night guard to protect the teeth from this habit.
A night guard is a rigid device made of transparent biocompatible resin worn in the mouth at night to prevent teeth from grinding against each other. The fabrication of a night guard is quick and painless and is done in just two appointments.
