Patients with untreated <strong>bruxism <\/strong>frequently suffer from one or more of the following symptoms:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Teeth that appear shorter and flatter over time<\/li>\n<li>Indentations from teeth on the tongue or cheek lining<\/li>\n<li>Stiffness and\/or tenderness of the jaw<\/li>\n<li>Chronic headaches that begin in the temple area<\/li>\n<li>Teeth that are worn down, exposing internal tooth structure beneath enamel<\/li>\n<li>Pain in the neck, head, shoulders, or upper back<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Though you are most likely not bothered by your own <strong>teeth grinding <\/strong>or <strong>jaw clenching <\/strong>at night, there\u2019s a possibility that your sleep partner is. In many cases, the extreme force with which the teeth grind together causes an audible scraping sound that can disrupt the sleep of others in the room. A custom oral appliance \u2013 often referred to simply as a nightguard \u2013 can be fitted to your unique dentition to reposition your jaw and cushion your teeth while you sleep. Most patients report relief from their <strong>bruxism <\/strong>symptoms within just a few nights of wearing their nightguard.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Schedule Your Bruxism Consultation Today<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Do you suspect that you or your partner may be suffering from nighttime <strong>teeth grinding<\/strong>?
