Signs of Teeth Grinding
If a patient grinds their teeth, they may experience things like:
- Headaches or migraines
- Ringing ears
- Broken dental work
- Jaw and TMJ pain
- Tense muscles in the face, neck, and shoulders
- Limited range of jaw motion
- Difficulty eating
- And more
If any of these symptoms sound familiar, Dr. Corbet may have a perfect solution.
Bruxism Treatments
To get relief from teeth grinding, wearing a custom made bite splint at night is often recommended. Bite splints, also called night guards, work to prevent grinding as the upper and lower teeth aren’t able to touch while wearing it.
The splint also keeps the jaw positioned in a way that prevents it from fully tensing nearby muscles, encouraging them to relax.
Bite guards can begin to offer relief for patients after wearing it for just a few days. For best results, bite guards should be worn nightly.
