Bruxism Management


Stop Grinding, Start Smiling
At Oviedo Premier Dental, our Bruxism Management program helps patients prevent the damaging effects of teeth grinding and jaw clenching. Using customized treatment plans, we relieve discomfort, protect your smile, and improve overall oral health. Our goal is to stop the strain on your teeth and jaw before it leads to serious dental issues.
What Is Bruxism Management?
Bruxism Management involves identifying and treating the habit of teeth grinding or jaw clenching, which can occur during sleep or while awake. Left untreated, bruxism can cause tooth wear, jaw pain, headaches, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Management may include custom oral appliances, behavioral strategies, and preventive care to reduce stress on teeth and jaw muscles.
How Bruxism Management Works
- Assessment of teeth, jaw, and bite to determine severity
- Creation of a custom-fitted night guard or splint
- Education on stress management and jaw relaxation techniques
- Regular follow-ups to monitor improvement and adjust treatment
