What is Bruxism?
Grinding of Teeth, also known as Bruxism, occurs in children as well
as adults. Grinding of teeth
generally occurs during sleep. The habit may soon remove critical
portions of healthy enamel from the chewing surfaces of the teeth
and may cause facial pain. In addition to grinding teeth, bruxers
also may bite their fingernails, pencils and chew the inside of their
cheek.
People usually aren't diagnosed with bruxism until it is too late
because so many people don't realize they have the habit. Others mistakenly
believe that their teeth must touch at all times. About one in three
people suffer from bruxism, which can easily be treated by a dentist.
Women have a higher prevalence of bruxism possibly because they are
more likely to experience tissue alterations in the jaw resulting
from clenching and grinding. Tongue indentations are another sign
of clenching. It can also cause stress fractures in the teeth.
What if my Child is Grinding His or Her Teeth? Children often grind their teeth when their teeth
are erupting. This is not uncommon, nor is it a problem if it is mild.
However, more severe cases can lead to a malocclusion.
Malocclusion generally leads to a need for Orthodontics
or the child can develop TMJ
problems. If you have any concerns about your child's
grinding of teeth, be sure to have our panel dentist check for signs
of excessive wear so a simple cure can be used to prevent serious
problems.
What
about Bruxism in Adults?
Adults may grind their teeth at night due to:
Malocclusion
Lifestyle Stress
Anger
Pain
Frustration
The result of bruxism can be:
Teeth grinding noise that sometimes disrupts the partner's
sleep
How can Bruxism be cured?
The objective of therapy is to make patient understand the behavioral
pattern and how to rest the tongue, teeth and lips properly. Sometimes,
the damage caused by bruxism must be addressed first. Any malocclusion,
sensitivity, brittle teeth, or TMJ problems should be discussed with
the chosen dentists first to be sure those problems are resolved and
that the subsequent cure for bruxism prevents a recurrence of those
problems. Bruxism itself can easily be cured with a simple mouth guard
that is worn during sleep. However, the dentist can make a plastic
mouth appliance, such as a NIGHT-GUARD
or occlusal splint, that's worn to absorb the force of biting. It
forms a barrier between the top and bottom teeth to stop the grinding
of the two arches. This guard is comfortable and easy to become accustomed
to. This appliance can prevent future damage to the teeth and helps
change the patient's destructive behaviour. Contact Us for an appointment
to stop the damage caused by bruxism and corrects any serious problems.
NTI
Tension Suppression System (NTI-tss)
People with migraine pain suffer a lot. Medical examinations often
show, however, that they're otherwise perfectly healthy. A recent
medical study confirms that people who suffer migraine pain and chronic
headache clench their jaws in a balanced, centered position. This
causes extremely intense muscular contraction, but little strain on
the jaw.
Nighttime jaw clenching usually goes unnoticed - but it sets the stage
for migraine pain and chronic headache pain. The NTI Tension Suppression
System (NTI-tss) is the only non-drug; non-surgical device cleared
by the FDA for prevention of medically diagnosed migraine pain and
jaw disorders through the reduction of trigeminally innervated muscular
activity.
Midtown Dental now offers the NTI-tss that reduces clenching intensity.
The NTI-tss is a small, nearly invisible removable device that you'll
wear when you are asleep. You can also be fitted with a removable
NTI-tss to wear all day long.
