Bruxism

Bruxism, the unconscious grinding and clenching of teeth, can lead to significant dysfunction in the chewing system. This not only causes facial pain but can also result in back, neck, and headaches, as well as dizziness. These symptoms are often associated with Craniomandibular Dysfunction (CMD).

The most effective treatment for bruxism is the bite splint, a removable device usually made of plastic. It helps relax the muscles and relieve tissue tension, providing relief from symptoms and preventing long-term damage.
