Teeth grinding in brief

Bruxism is involuntary clenching or grinding of the teeth. Because it mostly happens during sleep, people often don’t notice it; it shows up as jaw pain or headaches in the morning, or as wear on the teeth.

The core of treatment is a night guard made for your mouth that fits over the teeth. The guard does not completely stop grinding, but it protects the teeth, fillings and crowns from wear and reduces the load on the jaw muscles. At our clinic, night guards are made by Dr. Betül Hamitoğlu and Balamir Türker, DDS.

Clenching and grinding at night can wear the teeth down. A custom night guard stops the teeth rubbing against each other.

Good to know

A night guard protects when it is worn regularly every night.
Ready-made guards do not fit the mouth exactly; a guard made for your mouth is more comfortable and safer.
Stress and caffeine can make grinding worse.
If teeth are worn, they may need repairing with fillings or crowns later.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about teeth grinding

Does a night guard cure grinding completely?

A guard does not always stop grinding, but it protects the teeth from wear and reduces the load on the jaw muscles.

Do I need to wear the guard every night?

Yes. Protection comes from using the guard regularly.

How long does it take for the guard to be ready?

After impressions are taken, the guard is made in the laboratory; you are told the fitting date at the impression appointment.

Is teeth grinding treated in children?

Grinding is common in children and often lessens on its own. For an assessment, you can see our pediatric dentist.

Does grinding damage the jaw joint?

Long-term clenching and grinding can cause pain and clicking in the jaw joint. In that case the jaw joint is also assessed.
