Protection against bruxism

What is bruxism?

Bruxism is a disorder characterized by involuntary grinding or clenching of the teeth, mainly during sleep. This unconscious behavior can also occur during the day, but is often more problematic at night, when the person is unaware of it. Bruxism can be caused by a variety of factors, including stress, anxiety, sleep disorders or dental anomalies. It's a fairly common phenomenon, affecting a large proportion of the population to varying degrees, but it can go unnoticed for a long time, as those affected are not always aware of their nocturnal symptoms.

What are the consequences of bruxism?

Bruxism can have serious consequences for dental and general health. In the short term, it can lead to jaw pain, headaches, facial muscle pain and migraines. In the long term, teeth grinding and clenching can lead to excessive wear of tooth enamel, tooth cracks or fractures, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. This damage may require costly dental treatment, such as crowns or implants. In addition, untreated bruxism can disrupt sleep quality, leading to chronic fatigue and reduced quality of life.
