What Is Bruxism?

For patients in Bayview, our team explains Bruxism / Teeth Grinding Treatment options clearly and tailors care to individual needs. Bruxism is the involuntary habit of clenching or grinding teeth, whether during the day or while sleeping. Stress, bite imbalance, and other influences can play a role. Over time, it may wear enamel, harm restorations, strain the TMJ, and contribute to jaw soreness or morning headaches.

Protecting Your Teeth

A custom night guard creates a cushion between the teeth to reduce grinding forces. Once impressions are taken, the appliance is generally ready in one to two weeks.

Treating Bruxism

We may use neuromuscular and orthopedic methods to encourage more relaxed jaw muscles. TENS and bite registration help us identify a comfortable jaw position before making a removable custom orthotic. This reversible stage allows the bite to settle before longer-term treatment is considered.

What is Bruxism?

Bruxism is the involuntary clenching or grinding of teeth, occurring during the day or while sleeping. It can result from stress or misalignment of teeth, putting excessive pressure on your teeth and surrounding structures. Teeth grinding can wear down enamel, expose dentin, and damage both natural and dental work. It can also strain the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), leading to jaw pain, facial muscle discomfort, and morning headaches.

Protecting Your Teeth:

Our dentists create custom night guards to protect your teeth. After taking impressions, your night guard will be ready in one to two weeks.

Treating Bruxism:

We use neuromuscular and orthopedic techniques to relax your jaw muscles. A TENS unit delivers gentle electrical stimulation, helping your muscles relax. After about an hour, we record your jaw’s relaxed position through bite registration using a fast-setting material. We then create a custom orthotic to help reposition your jaw into a more natural resting position. This initial phase is reversible and helps stabilize your bite. The orthotic is removable but should be worn full-time as your muscles adjust. Once you reach a comfortable state, we can discuss long-term options.
