Bruxism (Teeth Grinding) is a common clinical condition where individuals involuntarily clench or grind their teeth, this can lead to jaw discomfort and thinning to tooth enamel. We offer treatments that address overactivity in the masseter muscles to help protect dental health and support daily comfort.
What Causes Teeth Grinding?
There can be various causes of teeth grinding, but one of the most common is stress. When a person is feeling stressed or anxious, they can subconsciously tense their jaw and grind their teeth together. This can occur when awake as well as when asleep. Other causes of teeth grinding can include genetics, smoking, alcohol consumption and dental issues.

We offer treatment that involves targeting the masseter muscle to help manage the tension associated with jaw clenching and grinding.
Teeth grinding can impact oral health if not addressed, leading to issues such as tooth wear, fractures and chipping. Persistent grinding can also result in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, causing jaw discomfort, headaches and difficulty opening and closing the mouth. Teeth grinding can additionally cause muscle soreness, facial pain and even earaches.
Results aren’t always noticeable immediately; we allow for up to 14 days for treatment to take full effect before results become apparent.
Your nurse will advise you of any applicable downtime in your initial consultation before any treatment.
Repeat treatments are recommended every 6 months to maintain the best results and prevent teeth grinding from reoccurring.
