Tackling bruxism
How mouthguards can help
Teeth grinding is a common condition where teeth are clenched or ground together, often during sleep. Many people are unaware they grind their teeth until symptoms such as jaw pain, headaches, tooth wear or sensitivity develop. Stress, sleep disorders and bite alignment issues are typical contributing factors.
Teeth grinding treatment begins with a thorough consultation to assess tooth wear, jaw function and symptoms. Custom-made dental mouthguards are commonly recommended to protect teeth, reduce strain on the jaw muscles and minimise damage caused by grinding during sleep.
Questions & answers
Mouthguard FAQs
Common signs include worn or flattened teeth, jaw pain, headaches, facial soreness and tooth sensitivity. Many patients grind their teeth while sleeping and may not realise it.
A custom mouthguard creates a protective barrier between the teeth, reducing wear and absorbing pressure from grinding or clenching.
Most patients are advised to wear their mouthguard during sleep. Your dentist will provide guidance based on the severity of your teeth grinding.
Yes. Untreated teeth grinding can lead to enamel wear, cracked teeth, restorations failing and ongoing jaw problems.
No. Custom-made mouthguards are designed to fit comfortably and should not interfere with breathing or sleep once you adjust to wearing them.
