Our dental health professionals in \u00cele-Perrot will inform you if they see that you suffer from bruxism and then lead you to the appropriate treatment, i.e. a custom-fitted bite plate (also called mouth guard or occlusal splint).<\/p>\n<p class=\"font18 regular fontopensans\">Bruxism refers to involuntary teeth clenching\/grinding. In most cases, this problem happens at night when the person is sleeping. Bruxism is often associated with anxiety, but it can also be caused by other factors, such as occlusion problems. It can happen with people of all ages: children and teenagers, adults and elderly people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font18 regular fontopensans\">It is important to treat bruxism because it can have many consequences that may seriously affect your dental health, such as premature tooth wear, hypersensitivity, increased risk of tooth fractures and cracks as well as a worsening of periodontal diseases. Also, bruxism can result in failure of jaw joint function, thus causing pain. In short, all these consequences can also affect the appearance your smile.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;5\/12&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1113&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;right&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=&#8221;30&#8243; el_class=&#8221;padding380x padding60yt&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;center mobilepadd padding60yb&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"font27 upperCase bold \">How will I know if I suffer from bruxism?<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p class=\"font18 regular fontopensans\">Bruxism will be detected by the dentist during an oral health exam. The dentist will be able to recognize the above-mentioned disorders associated with this problem. Nonetheless, some signs and symptoms should encourage you to consult a professional:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"font18 regular fontopensans\">\n<li>Jaw pain, especially to the temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ) (connecting your upper and lower jaws).<\/li>\n<li>Morning headaches, sometimes with fatigue.<\/li>\n<li>Tensions in the jaws, neck and shoulders.<\/li>\n<li>Cracking in the jaws and a difficulty opening the mouth completely.<\/li>\n<li>Sensitive or worn teeth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1539776606997{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"font18 regular fontopensans\">In such cases, come consult us. Fortunately, bruxism can be easily cared for in order to avoid all the consequences it can cause. The most common solution to this problem is the design of a bite plate.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p class=\"font18 regular fontopensans \"><strong>Consultation &amp; Imprints<\/strong><br \/>\nThe bite plate will help prevent the upper and lower teeth from grinding against each other when you clench your teeth. Your dentist needs to examine you first and then make some imprints of your teeth so as to design a preventive device that will effectively protect your teeth by fitting to them perfectly.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1539776675986{padding-top: 20px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"font18 regular fontopensans \"><strong>Bite Plate<\/strong><br \/>\nWith the imprints, your dentist designs a bite plate specifically tailored to fit your teeth and jaws. The plate is made using acrylic and is resistant enough to support strong forces.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1554309349186{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"font18 regular fontopensans\"><strong>Testing &amp; Follow-up<\/strong><br \/>\nThe bite plate is tested by the client during a following visit. Your dentist will ensure that it fits well in your mouth and will offer you advice on how to take care of the bite plate. A follow-up may be recommended in the following weeks to maximize comfort and adjustment of the bite plate.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=&#8221;30&#8243; el_class=&#8221;padding380x padding100yt&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p class=\"font30\" style=\"line-height: 0.5;\">Advice from our team<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a class=\"font14 semi-bold upperCase colorTheme fontopensans catmenu\" href=\"\/en\/blog\/\">ALL CATEGORIES<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=&#8221;30&#8243; el_class=&#8221;padding380x padding45yb&#8221;][vc_column][vc_basic_grid post_type=&#8221;post&#8221; max_items=&#8221;3&#8243; gap=&#8221;0&#8243; item=&#8221;239&#8243; grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1554309327606-6b6a61f8-02d3-3&#8243; el_class=&#8221;homepageGrid padding60yt&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=&#8221;30&#8243; equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; el_class=&#8221;padding380x padding100yt&#8221;][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Treating Bruxism &#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h1|text_align:left&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; el_class=&#8221;font30 regular&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=&#8221;30&#8243; el_class=&#8221;padding380x &#8220;][vc_column width=&#8221;7\/12&#8221;][vc_column_text] Bruxism is a relatively widespread condition, but it must be treated to prevent damage to the health of the smile.
