Bruxism
Bruxism, grinding or clenching of the teeth
Bruxism is a common disorder characterized by involuntary grinding or clenching of the teeth, often during sleep. Many people suffer from it without even realizing it, which can lead to pain, premature tooth wear, and even joint disorders.
But why do we clench or grind our teeth?
Several factors can cause bruxism: stress, anxiety, poor jaw posture, or certain sleep disorders. This behavior can also occur during the day, often linked to moments of intense concentration or tension.
The signs of bruxism are varied: jaw pain, frequent headaches, sensitive or broken teeth, and sometimes cracking sounds in the temporomandibular joint. If you recognize these symptoms, it is important to consult a dental professional who can make an accurate diagnosis and offer appropriate treatment.
Commonly used solutions include occlusal splints. These custom devices protect the teeth at night and limit the harmful effects of grinding. At the same time, managing stress through relaxation techniques can greatly help reduce episodes of bruxism.
