CRUNCH - CAUSE

The cause of bruxism is not completely understood. There are different approaches to describe this behavior pattern. The most common theory is based on stress management. When the person is in a state of stress, the higher the probability that the grinding is more likely to be present or more pronounced.

DIFFERENT FORMS OF BRUXISM - CONSEQUENCES

The majority of patients grind during sleep. Some patients also grind during the day, which they sometimes do not even notice because it is not done consciously. Many patients clench their teeth tightly.

The movement of the grinding pattern can also have different effects. The classic symptoms are muscle tension, facial pain and noise in the temporomandibular joint. In severe cases, teeth or restorations can break.

THERAPY - SIMPLE SPLINT

In the modern age, stress has unfortunately become a part of our lives. Higher and higher spiritual performances are demanded. Therefore, we should try to treat the consequences of bruxism or to achieve controlled grinding. The simplest very often successful (even if temporary) therapy is splint therapy.

THERAPY - FUNCTIONAL DIAGNOSTICS

Very often the splint does not achieve the desired success. Then a functional diagnosis is necessary to enable the physiological function of the masticatory organ. Grinding can also function physiologically without a splint.
