Teeth Grinding (Bruxism) Treatment and Relief

Bruxism refers to the act of grinding or clenching the teeth. While teeth grinding can happen at any time during the day, it is often a habit that patients unknowingly engage in while they sleep. You may be aware of how your teeth grinding habit affects your partner’s sleep, and you should also know that it can impact you as well. In fact, nighttime bruxism can lead to disruptive symptoms and significant consequences within your dental health, including the following:

• Worn down teeth
• Damaged or loose dental restorations
• Sensitive or sore teeth
• Painful jaw symptoms/TMJ
• Morning headaches

At ConfiDENT, we proudly offer a valued solution for patients who grind or clench their teeth during the night. We can protect your comfort as well as your smile health with a custom-fabricated night guard.

When it comes to helping patients find relief from teeth grinding and clenching, we proudly offer the most preferred occlusal guards in modern dentistry. An occlusal guard or bite guard is designed to effectively shield your teeth while you sleep and prevent the damage that bruxism can cause. At ConfiDENT, we know your quality of sleep is important. Therefore, you can trust that we only use durable materials that are designed for optimal fit and comfort. For most patients, a night guard is a minor investment that saves them from costly restorative treatments down the road. Our Alpharetta office also provides special oral appliances that treat sleep apnea, snoring and TMJ disorders as well.
