Treatment Process
One of the most common treatment methods for bruxism is the use of custom-made clear night guards. These guards prevent teeth from making direct contact, protecting against wear and safeguarding the jaw joint and chewing muscles. The thickness and structure of the guard should be specially designed according to the individual’s oral structure and the severity of their teeth grinding.
Another effective treatment method for bruxism is Botox application. Botox injections into the chewing muscles reduce muscle overactivity, decreasing the intensity of teeth grinding and relieving the pressure on the jaw joint.
The treatment process is determined through a dental examination and is tailored to the patient’s specific needs. Regular dental check-ups and stress management are also important for controlling bruxism.
