The reason for teeth grinding and pressing of the teeth can be stress, anxiety, sleep disorders (sleep apnea) or an incorrect bite due to missing or crooked teeth.
If the teeth grinding remains untreated, an unstable bite results, which can lead to loosening, breaking of the teeth up to tooth loss. The from the excessive tooth loss resulting tooth stumps then make root canal treatments, dentures or by tooth loss, dental implants necessary. Through the effect on the temporomandibular joints and the muscles, CMD malfunction as TMJ pain and headaches develop.
In order to avoid the serious consequences of the gnashing of teeth, your dentists in the Dental Clinic Lucerne make individually customized crunching splints for a stable bite for use at night. This allows the lower jaw not to slip to the side and the chewing muscles are relieved.
The crunching splint protects, stabilizes and relieves your teeth and jaw joints. When the crunch has already caused pain to the head or spine, a supplementary physical therapy is often necessary.
In the long term, a lifelong, stable and comfortable bite can be made by individually produced inlays.
