TMJ and Bruxism
Bruxism is a condition in which you grind and clench your teeth with or without your awareness. This condition can traumatically damage your teeth and dental restorations over a long period of time as well as causing headaches, muscle trauma and fatigue to Temporomandibular joints(TMJ) and related muscles. Nightguards or Bite Splints are commonly recommended to reduce and relieve pain and protect teeth. These custom-made mouthguards are designed specifically to prevent damage to your teeth, and can only be prescribed by a dentist.
