TEETH GRINDING, TMJ DYSFUNCTION

Bruxism, the habitual grinding or clenching of teeth, is frequently linked with TMJ (temporomandibular joint) dysfunction. This repetitive stress can lead to various issues in the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. The causes of bruxism and subsequent TMJ dysfunction are not always clear but are often associated with factors like stress, anxiety, and genetic predisposition. These conditions can result in symptoms such as jaw pain, headaches, and tooth damage.

Dr. Tee at Arte Skin Cosmetic provides effective treatments for managing Bruxism and TMJ dysfunction. We offer a treatment that temporarily reduces muscle activity, effectively addressing both the symptoms of bruxism and TMJ dysfunction. Additionally, custom dental devices may be recommended to reduce the impact of teeth grinding, alleviating the associated discomfort and protecting oral health.
