Questions and Answers: Bruxism

Question: Will bruxism treatment get in the way of any other types of treatments or medications I am on?

Answer: No! This form of treatment requires you to wear an oral appliance therapy mouthguard – and that’s it. This means there are no medicines or any invasive factors involved.

Question: Will you help me figure out why the bruxism is happening, so I can make additional efforts during bruxism treatment?

Answer: Of course. We will have a discussion with you about your daily habits and anything that may be contributing to bruxism (such as certain chewing habits, a high intake of caffeine, or stress). We can then offer helpful suggestions.

Question: Isn’t it going to be embarrassing to wear the oral appliance during the day? What will people think?

Answer: Fortunately, bruxism treatment is something that you perform at night – you simply place the mouthguard over your teeth and go to sleep. During the day, you go back to life without it. This is the time when you can take our suggestions to heart regarding thoughtful ways to protect your smile from constant motion and overuse.
