Bruxism and tmj disorders; comprehensive approach at smilesdent alameda

The repetitive and involuntary act of clenching or grinding the teeth, known as bruxism, along with Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders, can have repercussions that go beyond dental health, significantly affecting daily life and well-being of people.

At SmilesDent Alameda, we take a holistic approach to these conditions.

We recognize that each individual is unique, and the underlying causes of bruxism and TMJ problems can vary widely. Whether it is stress, sleep disorders, or dental alignment problems, we are prepared to identify and treat the root of the problem.

Fighting bruxism

Bruxism can not only cause headaches, tooth sensitivity, and tooth wear, but it can also lead to more serious problems, such as fractures.

We use a combination of cutting-edge technology and therapeutic approaches to combat it. Custom splints, for example, can help relieve pressure on your teeth at night.

Tackling TMJ challenges

The temporomandibular joint is essential for daily functions such as speaking and eating. A disorder in this joint can be debilitating. With a focus on accurate diagnoses, we provide treatments ranging from physical therapies to specialized devices, seeking to restore function and relieve pain.

Frequently asked questions bruxism and TMJ disorders

What exactly causes bruxism?

Bruxism can have several causes, including stress, dental alignment problems, sleep disorders, among others. It is essential to obtain an accurate diagnosis to address the underlying cause.

Common symptoms of a TMJ disorder include jaw pain, difficulty chewing, noises when opening or closing the mouth, and locking of the jaw. If you experience any of these symptoms, do not hesitate to contact us.

Treatment success may vary depending on the individual and the underlying cause. In many cases, treatments provide significant relief, but it is essential to follow recommendations and regular check-ups to ensure long-term effectiveness.

Night splints do not “cure” bruxism, but they can help protect teeth from excessive wear and reduce stress on the jaw. They are a valuable tool for the treatment of bruxism.
