BRUXISM TREATMENT - NIGHT GUARD

BRUXISM TREATMENT - NIGHT GUARD

Temporomandibular disorders / jaw joint disorders are known as pain and dysfunction involving the joint or masticatory muscles. Disorders within the joint arise due to disruption of the harmony between the joint surface and the disc, negatively affecting the individual.

•    Presence of clicking sounds in the jaw joint,
•    Pain felt in the ear, jaw joint, face-neck muscles, and temples,
•    Difficulty experienced during chewing,
•    Difficulty opening the mouth,
•    Complaints such as the jaw opening while shifting to one side lead patients to visit the orthodontist.
•    In some cases, there is no pain for many years; only clicking problems in the jaw joint continue. Deformation also increases correspondingly.

In daily life, teeth grinding, often occurring during sleep, is known as the clenching and grinding of teeth caused by strong jaw movements. The exact cause is unknown. It is believed to be related to a disorder in the nervous system. It is often said to occur due to hereditary reasons. Teeth grinding is frequently seen in irritable, nervous individuals and those under constant stress.

A night guard can be made to prevent the teeth grinding problem according to the patient's oral and dental structure. The developed dental guards may vary according to jaw function. Especially if you grind your teeth during sleep, a night guard is an ideal choice.

Before applying the grinding guard, the orthodontist takes measurements of the patient's mouth and fabricates the night guard as a transparent plate. Transparent night guards significantly delay tooth wear and help prevent gum diseases.
