Teeth Grinding (Bruxism) Treatment 

Protect Your Teeth and Relieve Jaw Pain

At Atrium Clinic, we provide personalised diagnosis and treatment for teeth grinding (bruxism), jaw clenching and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems.

Bruxism is a common condition involving involuntary grinding or clenching of the teeth, often during sleep or periods of stress. Over time, it can cause tooth wear, jaw discomfort, headaches and damage to existing dental restorations.

Our aim is to help protect your teeth, reduce discomfort and improve your jaw function and overall quality of life.

Common Symptoms of Bruxism

You may be experiencing teeth grinding or jaw clenching if you notice:

• Worn, chipped or flattened teeth

• Jaw pain, stiffness or muscle tension

• Frequent headaches, particularly in the morning

• Tooth sensitivity without an obvious cause

• Clicking or discomfort in the jaw joints

• Disturbed sleep or waking with a tired jaw

Our Bruxism Treatment Options

At Atrium Clinic, we tailor treatment to your individual symptoms, dental health and possible contributing factors.

Custom-Made Night Guards

A professionally fitted night guard or Michigan splint helps protect your teeth from excessive grinding forces during sleep.

These appliances are individually designed to fit your teeth and may help reduce jaw muscle discomfort in some patients.

Muscle Relaxation and Medical Treatment

For selected patients, additional treatment may be considered to manage persistent muscle tension or discomfort.

This may include appropriate medication or, in suitable cases, botulinum toxin injections into the masseter muscles to reduce excessive muscle activity. The benefits, limitations and potential risks are discussed during consultation.

Physiotherapy and Jaw Exercises

Targeted physiotherapy, gentle jaw exercises and muscle relaxation techniques can help improve jaw mobility and reduce muscular discomfort.

We may also recommend stress-management strategies and changes to habits that contribute to daytime clenching.

Advanced Diagnosis and Personalised Care

We use modern dental equipment and diagnostic techniques to assess your bite, teeth and jaw function.

Depending on your needs, this may include digital scanning, intraoral imaging, occlusal assessment and specialised appliances.

Early diagnosis can help prevent further tooth damage and identify appropriate ways to manage your symptoms.
