Teeth Grinding Management
Custom night guards and bite therapy to protect your teeth from bruxism (grinding and clenching).
Overview
Teeth grinding and clenching (bruxism) can wear down enamel, crack teeth, strain the jaw joint and cause headaches. We assess the cause, protect your teeth with a custom-fitted night guard, and address the muscles and bite that drive the habit.
Who may benefit
Patients who wake with jaw soreness or headaches, notice worn or chipped teeth, or have been told they grind or clench during sleep.
