Night Mouth Guard For Bruxism

Many people are aware of the phenomenon of grinding their teeth at night, or in other words, bruxism. Grinding your teeth can wear down the surface of your teeth while increasing the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and even tooth loss. Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, can lead to temporomandibular joint dysfunction, a condition that causes chronic jaw pain, headaches, and a ‘clicking’ sound when chewing or yawning. Special nighttime protective mouthguards should be worn to avoid this problem.

Why Does Teeth Grinding Occur?

Teeth grinding can be caused by a variety of factors, including chronic stress and an uneven bite caused by missing teeth, damaged teeth, or crooked teeth. Fixing damaged teeth, restoring missing teeth, or orthodontic treatment can help you stop grinding your teeth.

However, it is very difficult to stop grinding your teeth if it has become a habit.

Today, in order to protect your teeth from damage, dentists recommend wearing a bruxism mouth guard while you sleep.

In modern dental clinics, customised night mouth guards are made for each patient. An impression is taken individually from each patient and sent to a laboratory.

A bruxism night guard protects your teeth from damage caused by grinding and clenching of teeth, which most often occurs during sleep.

At Panoramic Dental Clinic in Antalya, you can receive quality and professional dental treatment and you can also order a bruxism night guard for yourself.
