Bruxism is teeth grinding or clenching, often during sleep, which can cause tooth damage, jaw pain, and headaches, a custom nightguard helps protect your smile.
Bruxism is the habit of grinding or clenching your teeth, usually without realizing it. Many people grind their teeth at night, which places excessive pressure on the teeth and jaw. Over time, this can lead to tooth wear, fractures, gum recession, sensitivity, headaches, and even jaw joint problems (TMJ issues).
Common signs of bruxism include:
A custom-made nightguard is the most effective way to protect your teeth from further damage. Unlike store-bought devices, a professionally fitted guard is comfortable, tailored to your bite, and durable. In addition to protecting teeth, nightguards help relax jaw muscles and prevent long-term complications.
At Dutch Dentist Dubai, we carefully assess whether bruxism is linked to stress, bite issues, or other factors, and provide a tailored solution to safeguard your teeth and relieve discomfort.
