Bruxism management

Bruxism can lead to tooth wear, broken restorations (e.g., crowns or fillings), tooth fractures, muscle pain, and gum problems when left untreated. Wearing appropriate braces can help prevent the consequences of bruxism.

Bruxism is characterized by involuntary clenching or grinding of the teeth. It may be related to mouth breathing, disturbed or restless sleep, snoring, or sleep apnea. Identifying the source of the problem helps us better manage it.
