\"\"<\/a>The unconscious act of clenching the jaw and grinding the teeth is called bruxism <\/strong>and it can have a number of detrimental effects on your mouth and in your daily life. At the Norman, OK<\/a> office of Dr. Bobby J. Carmen<\/a>, we offer customized oral appliances that help keep your teeth and jaw muscles safe from bruxism <\/strong>so you can sleep comfortably and get the rest you deserve.<\/span><\/p>\n

Causes and Treatment<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Though most people with bruxism <\/strong>clench their jaws and grind their teeth at night while they’re asleep, some tend to find themselves engaging in this subconscious behavior during the day as well. The cause of this behavior is generally stress, anxiety or frustration. At night, the constant movements and pressure applied to the teeth and muscles can lead to unnecessary wear and tear, often leading to temporomandibular joint disorder<\/a>, or TMJ.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fortunately, treatment for bruxism<\/strong> is typically relatively simple and affordable for the majority of patients. First, Dr. Carmen <\/strong>will assess your teeth, your bite and the muscles of your jaw. A mouthguard<\/strong> will be custom-fitted to your mouth and you’ll be instructed to wear it at night to prevent further damage to your teeth. The mouthguard<\/strong> serves as a buffer while you sleep, preventing the grinding of tooth surfaces against one another. Patients who start wearing a mouthguard<\/strong> regularly tend to find that they feel noticeably better in the mornings after just a few days of using the device.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rest Easy with a Mouthguard for Bruxism<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
