What is bruxism??

    If you wake up with headaches or acute pain, like tightening a vise, you can be one of many people who grind their teeth at night. Many people are unaware they have this disorder (called bruxism) because it often occurs at night during sleep. Your dentist can usually detect signs of wear on teeth. Bruxism is the technical term for teeth grinding and clenching that abrades teeth and facial pain. People who grind and clench their teeth, called bruxomani, bite down at inappropriate times such as during sleep. In addition to grinding teeth, bruxers also may bite their fingernails, pencils and chew the inside of the cheeks. Usually the disease is diagnosed too late because those who suffer from bruxism do not realize they have symptoms. Others mistakenly believe that their teeth must touch at all times. About one in four people suffer from bruxism, which can be treated by a dentistist.

Can bruxism cause harm?

   Directly or indirectly, bruxism can cause many problems. Grinding can cause teeth to become painful or loose. Patients can literally lose parts of the teeth, leaving them with worn surfaces or fractured enamel. People who have otherwise healthy teeth and gums can clench your teeth so often and so hard that over time their teeth become sensitized and may experience jaw pain and headaches. Forceful biting when not eating may lead to pathological mobility of the mandible.

What are the symptoms of bruxism?

   Teeth grinding is a common occurrence for many people at a time. If facial pain, fatigue or other problems, management may need treatment. Talk to your dentist if you are suffering from bruxism. During regular dental visits, we usually check for physical signs of bruxism. If you notice signs of bruxism, the condition can be observed over several visits to be sure of the problem before recommending and starting therapy. When a person has bruxism, the teeth look flat. Teeth are so degraded that the enamel is rubbed off, exposing the inside of the tooth, called dentin. When exposed, dentin can become sensitive. Bruxers may experience pain in TMJ (ATM) which may manifest itself as popping and clicking joints.

   Women who are more likely TMJ disorders (AATM), also have a higher prevalence of type bruxism possibly because they are more likely to suffer from tissue damage due to mandibular teeth clenching and grinding . Stress and certain personality types are at the root of bruxism. Throughout human history, bruxism has affected people with nervous tension. Anger, pain and frustration can trigger bruxing. People with highly aggressive, competitive and are very hurried also to be high risk for bruxism.

What causes bruxism?

    Further studies are needed to determine the exact cause of bruxism, but it is believed that both factors are psychiatric conditions, and physically. Among the factors contributing to illness may be stress or sleep disorders, an abnormal bite or crooked or missing teeth.

What can be done about bruxism?

   There are several ways to treat bruxism. Our dentists specialize in cosmetic dentistry will determine which single treatment or combination of treatments is right for you. If stress is the major cause of bruxism, people need to find ways to relax. People who have difficulty handling stress may need professional help or dentist may prescribe muscle relaxants to relax jaw muscles. In many cases we can prescribe a night guard that prevents the manifestation of symptoms of bruxism during sleep. To alleviate muscle pain, physical therapy may be needed

   The objective of therapy is to bruxer to change behavior by learning how to rest the tongue, teeth and lips. When some people become aware of the problem, simply advising them to rest their tongue upward with teeth apart and lips shut may be enough to get them to change their behavior and relieve discomfort. However, the dentist can make a plastic mouth appliance, such as night guard, which is designed to absorb the bite force that causes damage and pain and help to change patient behavior.

Why recommend a night guard or protective device?

    If designed correctly, the protection against biting help prevent pathological mobility of teeth, protect ceramic restorations and to protect teeth from abrasion due to teeth grinding and gathering. A night guard is a device for mouth plastic that is worn at night to prevent tooth grinding.

   A bite plate is a plastic device which prevents teeth from coming together. In some cases, such as overbite, it may eventually improve the bite level. A method used to treat injuries more serious cases of grinding involves reshaping or reconstructing the biting surfaces with crowns or inlays or total reconstruction of the mouth.
