Bruxism & Nightguard Treatments
Bruxism is the involuntary grinding or clenching of the teeth during sleep. This can lead to problems such as wear on the teeth, headaches, and pain and sensitivity in the jaw joint. Night guard is generally used in the treatment of bruxism. Night guard helps prevent grinding by protecting the teeth, reduces the pressure on the jaw joint and provides comfort during sleep. This treatment plays an important role in maintaining long-term dental health.
Night guards serve several primary purposes:
- Treatment of Bruxism: They are used for individuals who grind or clench their teeth (bruxism) to protect the teeth and prevent excessive strain on the jaw muscles during the night.
- Tooth Protection: Night guards can be beneficial for protecting the teeth during sports or other activities where there is a risk of dental injury.
Functional Relief
- Prevention of Tooth Wear: They help reduce wear and tear on the teeth caused by grinding or clenching during sleep.
- Since night guards are custom-fitted, they provide comfort and play a crucial role in maintaining dental health.
