Bruxism appears to be genetically related and is equally common in both men and women. If bruxism is not treated in people who do not have nerve problems, the teeth will become severely worn out. Inconsistent contact due to wear may stop, but the bruxism continues due to habit.
In cases where bruxism is caused by neurological problems, it may recur naturally after neurological problems are resolved. In the event that bruxism occurs or is observed, see the dentist, and after diagnosing the cause of bruxism, the necessary measures must be taken, that is, after knowing the main cause, a simple treatment is performed and a device called Night Guard is placed, and by using it the bruxism can be completely eliminated while sleeping.
Some patients may experience bruxism due to abnormalities of the jaw and teeth. It seems necessary to see an orthodontist at this time. Sometimes, some patients restore their teeth with some restorative treatments without considering the anatomical structure of the patient’s jaw and teeth, and they suffer from bruxism. Therefore, be sure to see an orthodontist to take the necessary measures to treat and prevent anatomical problems of the jaw and teeth.
