Teeth Grinding or Bruxism

Did you know excessive clenching and grinding can cause serious damage to your teeth? Teeth grinding has an accumulative effect and over time symptoms become more severe, inevitably resulting in irreversible damage. Bruxism is a common problem, however, every patient requires a personalised treatment plan.

Signs of teeth bruxism/grinding/clenching:

  • teeth chipping, becoming shorter and worn out.

  • teeth are sore on biting

  • headaches or ear aches

  • dental restorations are failing and cracking

  • teeth sensitivity

  • lower mid of the face becoming shorter.

Here at Clean Teeth Dental, we offer a comprehensive approach to managing this problem with the following solutions.

  1. Study your bite with an intra-oral scanner

  2. Restore what has been lost with veneers or composites

  3. Invisalign treatment

  4. Equilibration of existing dentition

  5. Custom-made night guards

  6. Dysport (botox) injections

Managing bruxism is not always easy, Dr Marwan has a Master's degree in Aesthetic dentistry (Otago) and is excellent at managing multiple bite problems as well as complex full-mouth rehabilitations for patients with bruxism.
