But why does bruxism? For the prevention and treatment of this unpleasant condition you need to know about its causes.





Bruxism: causes and symptoms

The most common signs of bruxism is when people much jaw clenching in your sleep or grinding your teeth. They do this quite unconsciously. And this unusual position of the jaws for a long time (several hours to several weeks or even months, for example) is a cause of certain consequences.

Just imagine: hard to clench my teeth every night and stay in this position for a few hours, it suggests significant pressure on the muscles of the mouth and the jaw.

By the way, our unconscious actions can be seen and even heard our "bed buddies".

The most common symptoms:

• Pain in the jaw area
• Headache since morning
• Dizziness and pain in the cervical
• Ear pain or ringing in the ears (annoying noises that make it difficult to concentrate)
• If a person is suffering from bruxism for several years (for example) and not to take any action, it can lead to abrasion of teeth, very conspicuous.
• In the mouth opening of the person can feel a "crunch" (like the click of fingers).
• Some noted special sensitivity when chewing is too cold or too hot food.
• Someone's even lost appetite, they feel extreme fatigue and pain in the jaw area, which prevents proper (careful) chewing of food.

  What appears bruxism?

Doctors say that the most common cause of bruxism is stress. However, some experts attribute this condition to our sleep habits.

• Insomnia, for example, can lead to higher level of nervousness and agitation, with the result that the jaws will be compressed and will be subject to unnecessary pressure. This happens quite often.
• Maintaining a very active lifestyle, when a person has to solve several difficult tasks, sometimes under pressure (deadlines, conditions, etc.), also makes the rest "defective".
• Among the factors influencing the occurrence of bruxism, we can distinguish the emotional stress and problems in relationships (with other people, in family, in pairs).

 

Therefore, out of sight not to be missed the following: if we are under stress for too long it exhausts our nervous system and does not go unnoticed. As a result, people suffer not only from dehydration but also from problems such as tachycardia, indigestion, back pain, etc.

 What will be the consequences of bruxism, if left untreated?

• Problems with your teeth (wear, damage enamel, etc.)
• Chronic headaches
• Improper occlusion of the lower jaw
• Problems with digestion (due to insufficiently chewed food)
• The wear and tear of the temporomandibular joint
• Problems with the nervous system, which may result in dizziness, disorientation, etc.

So how do you treat bruxism?

Plastic or silicone tire may be a good solution for bruxism.

 Tyres areOne of the most common ways of treating bruxism is to use a special lining on the teeth, the so-called tyre. Dentists recommend it because it protects our teeth from excessive pressure and, as a consequence, grinding.

In addition, thanks to dental the tyres can get rid of unpleasant gnashing (or at least reduce its intensity). In most cases, this becomes an effective tool, but some still can't solve the problem this way, so it is important to take into account the individual characteristics of each patient.

 

Physical therapy and healthy exercisesin Addition to treatment that can offer us doctors at home would be a good idea to do the following simple exercises. They will help to restore the correct operation of the joint of the jaw, relax the muscles and reduce pain.
