Dentistry and Neuromuscular Re-education Therapy. Working together taking the bite out of Bruxism
40 million people are suffering with grinding and clenching of their teeth. You may have been fitted with night guards to help protect your teeth but does that cure the problem? It’s important to treat teeth grinding once you have it! Ignoring it will make it worse.
Bruxism with lateral movements shortens and blunts the teeth being ground and may lead to myofascial muscle pain, temporomandibular joint dysfunction and headaches.
Early intervention is the key! Once it becomes a habit the original cause can end but without ending the habit.
