What is Bruxism (Teeth Grinding & Clenching)?

Bruxism is the medical term for habitual teeth grinding (a side-to-side motion) and teeth clenching (a fixed, tight biting motion).

  • Sleep Bruxism: This is the most damaging type because you are unaware of it and the bite force exerted during sleep can be immense.
  • Awake Bruxism: This is often a subconscious habit related to stress, concentration, or anxiety, and usually involves clenching rather than grinding.

Both types overwork your jaw muscles and put extreme pressure on your teeth.

 

Reasons for Teeth Grinding: The Main Causes

While not always clear, the reason for teeth grinding is often a combination of factors:

  • Stress and Anxiety: This is the #1 cause of awake bruxism and a major contributor to sleep bruxism.
  • Sleep Disorders: People with sleep apnoea or snoring are significantly more likely to grind their teeth.
  • Misaligned Bite (Malocclusion): If your teeth don't fit together properly, it can trigger a grinding reflex.
  • Lifestyle: Regular consumption of caffeine, alcohol, or smoking can increase muscle activity and grinding.
  • Medications: Certain antidepressants can list bruxism as a rare side effect.

 

Signs & Effects of Teeth Grinding Damage

How do you know if you have bruxism? You may not feel it, but the effects of teeth grinding are clear:

  • Dull Headaches or Migraines: Waking up with tension headaches.
  • Sore, Tired Jaw Muscles: Pain in the face or jaw (TMJ/TMD).
  • Tooth Pain or Sensitivity: Worn-down enamel exposes the inner dentin.
  • Visible Damage: Flattened, chipped, cracked, or worn-down teeth.
  • Tongue Indentations: Scalloped marks on the side of your tongue.
  • Earache: Pain that feels like it's in your ear but is actually from your jaw joint.

 

How to Avoid Teeth Grinding: Your Treatment Options

While you may not be able to "cure" bruxism, you can manage it and stop the damage. The best bruxism treatment is a multi-step approach:

  • Custom Night Guard (Occlusal Splint): This is the most important treatment. A professionally made, hard acrylic night guard (not a soft, "boil-and-bite" guard) will not stop you from clenching, but it will protect your teeth from the damage. It acts as a protective shield, absorbing the force.
  • Masseter Botox (Botox for Bruxism): This is a highly effective medical treatment. Botox is injected into the masseter (chewing) muscles, partially relaxing them. This reduces the force of the clench, relieving jaw pain and headaches while also protecting your teeth.
  • Stress Management: For awake bruxism, becoming aware of your habit is key. For sleep bruxism, reducing stress through exercise, meditation, or a better sleep routine can help.
  • Bite Correction: In some cases, orthodontics or minor bite adjustments can help if a misalignment is the primary cause.

 

Teeth Grinding Repair: Restoring Your Smile

Once your bruxism is under control (with a night guard or Botox), we can focus on teeth grinding repair. The damage done by grinding is permanent, but it is fixable.

  • Composite Bonding: For minor chips and wear on the front teeth.
  • Porcelain Inlays/Onlays: To restore the chewing surfaces of molars.
  • Dental Crowns: For severely worn-down or cracked teeth, a crown provides 360-degree protection and restores the tooth's proper height and shape.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How can I stop teeth grinding?

The first step is a custom-fit night guard to prevent damage. The next is to manage the cause, whether that's stress (with lifestyle changes) or an overactive muscle (with Botox).

 

2. How I cured my bruxism: Is it possible?

Bruxism is often a chronic condition that is managed, not "cured." A patient who says they "cured" it likely found the right management technique (e.g., a night guard and stress reduction) that eliminated all their symptoms.

 

3. Will a night guard stop me from grinding?

Not necessarily, but it's not designed to. It's designed to protect your teeth by making you grind on a removable, replaceable surface instead of your precious enamel.

 

4. What is the worst effect of teeth grinding?

The worst damage is a cracked or split tooth, which can lead to infection and the need for a root canal or extraction. It can also lead to chronic TMJ pain and migraines.

 

5. How much does a night guard cost in Turkey?

A premium, custom-fit hard acrylic night guard at our clinic typically costs between €100 and €180, which is 70-80% less than in the UK or Europe.

Professional Photography

In dentistry, high-resolution photographs are taken to evaluate the patient’s existing tooth structure and facial aesthetics. These photos are used to document and analyze the condition, color, and shape of the teeth and their harmony with the patient’s face.

 

Why is it important? Professional photographs help dentists and lab technicians plan the restoration process and achieve ideal aesthetic results.

5D Scanning

5D scanning technology allows for highly precise digital scanning of teeth and oral structures. This technology goes beyond traditional 3D scans by capturing additional information such as color, texture, and movement.

 

Why is it important? 5D scanning enables the creation of detailed digital models of teeth, allowing for more accurate and personalized restorations. This accelerates the treatment process and provides a more comfortable experience for the patient.

Use of Special Dental Burs

Special dental burs are used for shaping teeth with minimal preparation and for the precise placement of restorations. These burs are high-precision and sharp instruments.

 

Why is it important? The use of special dental burs for accurate and minimally invasive preparation maximizes the preservation of tooth structure and improves aesthetic outcomes.

Quality and Technological Laboratory Infrastructure

Dental laboratories equipped with advanced technology play a key role in the production of restorations. These labs use CAD/CAM systems, high-precision manufacturing devices, and biocompatible materials.

 

Why is it important? Laboratories with quality and technological infrastructure ensure that restorations are produced with perfect fit and aesthetics. This helps patients achieve long-lasting and natural-looking results. Minimal prep technology, with the integration of these components, provides highly aesthetic and functional restorations while preserving the natural structure of the teeth. These methods increase patient satisfaction and make treatment processes more efficient.

    Wow !!! I’ve literally just had my new smile, I’m over the moon! Had a lot of work done to get the smile I’ve wanted for years but the whole team at Dentalays have been amazing! Can’t thank them enough. Every visit I was made to feel relaxed, informed of everything that was going to take place (most of which through a brilliant translator, who was with my every step of the way) I’d highly recommend Dentalays if you’re thinking about cosmetic treatments.

    Dentalays Clinic is like home!!! Not only are our smiles beautiful and important to the entire staff! But who we are and what kind of people we are! I felt at home! Very warm atmosphere! In such a short time I got to know each of them very well! We are not just clients there, but they give everyone a lot of warmth and care! They want to get to know us. Which for me is very beautiful! Being there you will not lack anything! No matter how difficult the procedure you are going through, you receive a lot of support and care! Another thing that is important to me is that each of them does it with passion. The entire procedure must be done perfectly, every imperfection is corrected! We do not feel like a piggy bank! Because for them money is really secondary! The most important thing for the clinic is our well-being and health and satisfaction with the procedure performed! Nothing is done in a hurry and without discussing it with you or the Doctor! I loved these people and I know that I will go back there to spend some time with them! They are my second home and I know that I can always count on them! There are few people with such a good heart these days!

    DENTALAYS I love you! Thank you for everything and I miss you already! Now I know that with a smile like the one you gave me I will find my HUSBAND 😂
    See you soon ❤️❤️❤️
