Why is it important?

Prevention

Chronic grinding can cause tooth wear, cracks, or fractures, requiring extensive restorative treatments.

The pain

Bruxism often causes tension, pain, and stiffness in the jaw and surrounding muscles.

The quality of sleep

Grinding and clenching your teeth, especially at night, can interfere with you and your partner's sleep.

02 Personalized Treatment

Depending on the severity of your Bruxism, we offer adapted solutions, such as custom mouthguards and advice to reduce contributing factors.

03 Follow-up and Advice

We ensure regular follow-up to adapt the treatment and prevent recurrences.

04 Personalized Action Plan

Key Indicators

Teeth wear

We examine your teeth for signs of wear, flattening, or cracks caused by grinding.

Jaw Tension

We assess your jaw muscles to identify pain, stiffness, or movement limitations.

Dental Alignment

We analyze teeth alignment or bite problems that could contribute to Bruxism.

Sleep Habits

We discuss your sleep patterns to determine if the squeak mostly occurs at night.

Stress levels

Since stress is a common cause of Bruxism, we are evaluating lifestyle factors that may contribute to this condition.
