Teeth Clenching Treatment

Teeth clenching treatment addresses unconscious nighttime clenching (bruxism) and teeth grinding. This condition doesn't just wear down teeth — it also causes jaw pain, headaches, and reduced sleep quality.

Common causes of teeth clenching include stress and anxiety, bite misalignment between teeth and jaw, sleep disorders, neurological or psychological factors, and excessive caffeine or nicotine intake.

Four main treatment methods are used: a custom-made clear night guard protects the teeth, masseter Botox prevents the jaw muscle from overworking, stress management includes psychological support and breathing exercises, and orthodontic treatment corrects bite misalignment.

Benefits of treatment include preventing tooth wear and fractures, reducing jaw and facial pain, improving sleep quality, easing headaches, and preventing lasting damage to the jaw joint.

Dent Ümitköy Polyclinic in Ankara Çankaya Ümitköy offers both healthy and comfortable solutions through advanced diagnostic methods and personalized approaches.

Masseter Botox is considered safe when performed by expert physicians; treatment duration and permanence vary by individual, and different approaches can also be applied for children when needed.
