What is bruxism?
Constantly up-to-date with the latest technical and scientific research, the Forte dei Marmi dental practice is committed to offering its patients effective solutions for dental problems, such as bruxism. But what is bruxism? Bruxism involves teeth grinding and, being a purposeless movement, is considered a parafunction.
Bruxism therapy
Bruxism is often the cause of frequent headaches and pain affecting the neck, temporomandibular joint, and back. In this case, the dentists at Istituto Odontoiatrico Versilia offer a simple and comfortable solution: the application of a resin bite guard. These bite guards are fully customized and, by preventing teeth grinding, protect the teeth from erosion, also preventing the muscle dysfunction that causes headaches and joint pain.
Craniomandibular dysfunction
Craniomandibular disorders are disorders affecting the muscles connected to the skull and jaw. The most common symptoms include jaw pain, headache, neck pain, ear pain, tinnitus, and dizziness. There can be multiple causes: grinding of the teeth, malocclusion, TMJ pain or arthritis, and others caused by stress or psychological factors. Using a functional bite device can restore the TMJ to its correct position, alleviating pain and restoring the jaw to an ideal position, which involves relaxing all the muscles. In more complex cases, additional physiotherapy may be necessary, which we will advise you on.
