What is bruxism and why treat it?

It is a disorder that causes the involuntary clenching or grinding of the teeth, usually while we sleep, although it can also occur during the day. This habit can be related to stress, anxiety, poor dental alignment, or even sleep problems. If left untreated, it can have serious consequences on both your oral health and your quality of life. Here’s why it’s important to treat it as soon as possible.

Prevents tooth wear

Bruxism puts excessive pressure on the teeth, causing premature wear on the enamel. This can lead to tooth sensitivity, cavities, and the need for more complex treatments such as crowns or reconstructions. Treating it in time helps to preserve your natural teeth in good condition.

Prevent muscle problems

Continuous clenching affects not only the teeth, but also the muscles and joints of the jaw, generating chronic pain. These problems can spread to the neck, head, and even cause migraines. Proper treatment relieves these discomforts and improves your overall well-being.

Protect your jaw

Bruxism can trigger disorders in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), such as blockages, clicks or difficulty opening and closing the mouth. Treating it prevents these complications from aggravating and protects the functionality of your jaw.

Improves sleep quality

Teeth grinding affects not only your oral health, but also your rest. Many people with bruxism experience unrefreshing sleep, aggravating stress and daily fatigue. With proper treatment, you will be able to sleep better and enjoy a higher quality of life.

Interest-free financing

We offer flexible payment plans and tailor-made financing so that price is not an obstacle. You will only pay the opening fees.

How is bruxism diagnosed?

At Ivaylov Dental Clinic, the diagnosis of bruxism begins with a detailed review of your symptoms, such as tooth wear, jaw pain, or grinding noises.

We ask about jaw, neck, or head pain, audible teeth grinding during sleep, and whether you notice tooth wear or sensitivity. These are common signs of bruxism.

During the clinical examination, we look for visible signs of tooth damage and check the functionality of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).

In addition, we use advanced technology such as X-rays or 3D scanners to assess the condition of your teeth and jaw accurately.

This combination of clinical and technological evaluation allows us to identify the type and severity of bruxism, designing a personalized treatment to protect your oral health.

Symptoms and causes of bruxism: how to identify it and what causes it

Bruxism can be difficult to detect because many people are unaware that they clench or grind their teeth, especially at night. However, the symptoms and causes of this disorder can manifest in a variety of ways. Understanding them is the first step to seeking treatment and protecting your oral health.

Jaw pain

Bruxism generates excessive tension in the jaw muscles, which can lead to constant discomfort or even chronic pain in the face, neck and shoulders. This symptom is usually more noticeable in the morning if the bruxism occurs during the night.

Wear or cracks on the teeth

Excessive contact between teeth causes visible wear on the enamel or small fractures. This can increase tooth sensitivity and require treatments such as crowns or reconstructions.

Headache or migraines

The continuous effort of the jaw muscles can spread and cause tension headaches, especially when waking up, affecting your daily well-being.

Stress or anxiety

Bruxism is closely related to high levels of stress or anxiety. These emotions trigger teeth clenching unconsciously, both during the day and while you sleep.

TMJ problems

Bruxism can cause temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, such as clicking, blocking, or difficulty opening and closing the mouth. These problems affect the functionality of the jaw and can get worse if left untreated.

Genetic or anatomical factors

Some people are more prone to bruxism due to genetics or anatomical problems such as an incorrect bite. These conditions increase the risk of suffering from this disorder and its complications.

Treatments for bruxism in our dental clinic in Benidorm

Bruxism can have serious consequences if not treated in time. At our dental clinic in Benidorm, we offer effective and personalized treatments to protect your teeth, relieve symptoms and avoid future complications.

Discharge splints

Splints are the most common and effective treatment for bruxism. These are clear, personalized plates that are placed over your teeth overnight. Its function is to protect the teeth from wear, relax the jaw muscles and reduce pressure on the TMJ.

Dental Rehabilitation

In advanced cases of bruxism, where the teeth have suffered severe wear or fractures, dental rehabilitation is necessary. This treatment includes placing crowns, veneers, or dental reconstructions to restore the shape and function of damaged teeth.

Bite adjustment

If bruxism is related to tooth alignment or bite problems, adjustments can be made with treatments such as orthodontics. This corrects incorrect positions of the teeth, decreasing stress on the jaw.

Step by step

This is how we perform a bruxism treatment

Initial consultation and diagnosis

The first step is a full evaluation. In this consultation we identify your symptoms, such as jaw pain or tooth wear, and analyze your habits. We use tools such as 3D scanners and X-rays to determine the degree of involvement and personalize treatment.

Discharge ferrule design

If a splint is the right solution, we take impressions of your mouth to custom design. This ensures a perfect fit and maximum effectiveness. The splint is made of comfortable and durable materials, ideal for protecting your teeth and relaxing your jaw during rest.

Complementary treatments (if necessary)

In more advanced cases, we combine the splint with additional treatments, such as dental rehabilitation to restore worn teeth, bite adjustments to improve alignment, or recommendations to reduce stress, which may include relaxation techniques.

Fitting and adjusting the splint

When the splint is ready, we adjust it in your mouth to make sure it’s comfortable and functional. We explain how to use it correctly, how to take care of it and how to include it in your daily routine.

Periodic reviews

We schedule follow-up visits to monitor treatment progress, check splint status, and adjust any details if necessary. These check-ups are key to ensuring optimal results and preventing future complications.

Thanks to Daniel and his assistant Sandra… Without a doubt, they have radically changed the paradigm of dentistry in a radical and effective way, understanding it as something painless and based on the safety and confidence of the patient. I wouldn’t mind going back as something more routine. Greetings and thank you for everything.
