What Is Bruxism?

Bruxism is involuntary teeth clenching or grinding that can occur while awake or asleep. Stress, bite imbalance, and other factors may contribute. Over time, it can wear enamel, damage dental work, strain the TMJ, and cause jaw pain or morning headaches.

Protecting Your Teeth

Custom night guards cushion your teeth from grinding forces. After impressions are taken, your appliance is typically ready within one to two weeks.

Treating Bruxism

We use neuromuscular and orthopedic techniques to help relax jaw muscles. A TENS unit and bite registration can help identify a more comfortable jaw position before a removable custom orthotic is made. This reversible phase lets your bite stabilize before discussing longer-term care.

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.
