What Is Bruxism?
Bruxism is the unconscious grinding or clenching of teeth, often occurring during sleep. Many people are unaware they have the condition until symptoms begin to affect their daily life.
If left untreated, bruxism can lead to:
- Worn, chipped, or cracked teeth
- Jaw pain or tightness
- Frequent headaches or earaches
- Tooth sensitivity
- TMJ (jaw joint) discomfort
- Sleep disturbances
The good news is that bruxism is manageable. With a custom-fitted appliance, you can protect your teeth and reduce the effects of grinding starting right away.
Signs You May Have Bruxism
Not sure if teeth grinding is affecting you? Common signs include:
- Waking up with jaw soreness or stiffness
- Teeth that appear flattened or worn
- Frequent morning headaches
- Reports from a partner of nighttime grinding
- Increased tooth sensitivity
- Unexplained chips or cracks in teeth
If you notice any of these symptoms, a professional evaluation can help determine the best solution for your needs.
