Bruxism

What Are Some of the Negative Effects of Bruxism?

Invisalign can help

Unconscious teeth grinding or jaw clenching, while awake or asleep, can lead to a host of undesirable symptoms, including headaches, earaches, facial pain, migraines, and a sore jaw.

Bruxism can also cause a variety of dental problems ranging from loss of tooth enamel, increased tooth sensitivity, and flattening and/or chipping of the teeth.

Finally, it’s not uncommon for women and men who suffer from chronic teeth grinding to experience hypertrophy of the massetermuscle – the muscle that moves the jaw. This can lead to the appearance of a severe square jaw and may be aesthetically displeasing.

Invisalign may be useful in addressing the underlying cause of bruxism.
