Treatment for bruxism includes the use of mouth guard that creates a physical barrier between the upper and lower teeth, protecting them from damage and reducing the grinding.

Mouthguards  are custom made in acrylic, nylon  or plastic. 

To maximize results we combine the treatment with a muscle discharge or pressure points in the areas  involved, performed by our osteopath, to help  the pain relief. 

Therapy should also include stress control activities like exercise or other recreational personal preferences. 

Some cases also could require orthodontics to restore the correct occlusal relation between the teeth, and/or reconstructive dental treatments.
