Business Description
WHAT IS BRUXISM?Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TJD) also known as Bruxism, present as teeth grinding or teeth clenching, and are often associated to feelings of stress in daily lives. Most people do not often notice that they are grinding in daytime, but becomes uncontrollable at night while asleep.
Clenching and grinding of teeth occurs due to constant flexing and contracting of overactive Masseter muscles or the chewing muscle, and can cause headaches, earaches, facial pain, and muscle thickening or hypertrophy.
BRUXISM TREATMENT
Treatment option include wearing a bite block at night to prevent grinding, but people usually end up spitting it out in their sleep or awaken with jaw soreness. Surgery is another option but not preferred as it an invasive procedure, and no results are not always fully effective. Botox injections are non invasive and very effective facilitators too break the habit.
