Bruxism

Bruxism more than teeth grinding

It’s not just an annoying habit – bruxism is the unconscious clenching or grinding of teeth, which can have serious consequences for our health. It usually occurs at night, but stress can also trigger it during the day. It’s like an engine that can’t stop running, even when it should be resting.

Why is it not that simple?

Contrary to popular belief, bruxism doesn’t involve only the masseter muscles – the ones that form the characteristic widening of the jaw angle. It’s a complex mechanism where every gear matters. Simply relaxing the masseters is often insufficient – we need to look at all the masticatory muscles as a whole.

What might be the cause?

The problem might have many sources:

  • Malocclusion
  • Previous tooth extractions
  • Poorly fitted fillings
  • Prosthetic work
  • Certain commonly used medications
  • Chronic stress

What does the therapy involve?

t requires a comprehensive approach, often involving the cooperation of several specialists:

  • Aesthetic medicine doctor –muscle relaxation with botulinum toxin
  • Dentist – assessment of teeth and occlusion
  • Physiotherapist – rehabilitation of the temporomandibular joints
  • Sometimes, a neurologist or psychiatrist – in case of neurological or stress-related background

What’s most important?

The key is to identify the root cause. It’s like detective work where every detail might matterfrom dental history to medications and lifestyle.

Before the therapy:

  • We will conduct a medical interview
  • We will assess the masticatory muscles
  • We will examine the temporomandibular joints
  • We will refer you to the appropriate specialists if necessary

Please remember that effective treatment for bruxism requires patience and teamwork. It’s not a problem that can be solved with a single treatmentit’s a process requiring a comprehensive approach and often a change in certain habits.
