The habit of grinding or clenching teeth

Bruxism is the habit of grinding or clenching teeth — usually a daytime clenching habit and nighttime grinding. Sleep bruxism is hard to recognize, but the unpleasant sound disturbs people sleeping nearby and damages your own teeth, gums, and joints.

이갈이의 원인

A multifactorial habit

Bruxism is known to result from multiple combined causes — the most significant being stress and improper tooth relationships from malocclusion. It can also appear from increased muscle fatigue or as a temporary phenomenon during baby teeth shedding.

해로운 이유

A stronger force than normal muscle output

Bruxism rubs teeth together with a force stronger than normal muscle output, placing excessive force on teeth, gums, and joints — and damaging the inside of the mouth.

Combined: medication, botox, splint

There are several treatment methods, but the most effective approach is the combined treatment of medication, botox, and splint. Avoiding alcohol, smoking, and caffeine is also helpful, and reducing daily stress is equally important.

Botox Treatment

Botox treatment shows immediate response — weakening muscle force and reducing muscle thickness, lessening side effects of bruxism. For square jaw, it has the additional effect of slimming the jawline.

Splint

Splint stabilizes muscles, doubling botox effectiveness. Even if bruxism continues after treatment, the splint reduces the resulting tooth damage.
