Bruxism: remedies

Introduction

Bruxism, an involuntary phenomenon that involves teeth grinding, is a fairly common condition among the population, but effective remedies are still being studied.

First, the patient suffering from bruxism must undergo a test to diagnose a possible pathology affecting the oral cavity: the problem could in fact derive from some pathologies (usually psychological conditions and chewing disorders).

In this case, the most effective remedy is the cure, first and foremost, of the underlying disease.

Remedies against bruxism

In the market there are particular devices called Bite, which still represent the only effective remedy to lighten the problems that could derive from bruxism.

BITE remedies are useful to protect teeth from erosion during sleep: they must be applied during the night, before going to bed, and they hinder the grinding because they intercalate between the chewing surfaces.

The bites are very effective remedies, not because the only therapy available, but because, in addition to hindering the progressive wear of the teeth, they favor their correct alignment. It has been recorded that most people with bruxism have an incorrect alignment of the dental arches, a possible triggering factor. Taking advantage of the remedies the dental alignment will be favored and the muscular tensions of the neck and the jaw will be reduced, as well as bruxism.

The bites can be soft or hard, depending on the patient's needs; they are standard measures sold in pharmacies, but they can also be prepared "to measure": in the latter case, the dentist proceeds with the detection of the patient's dental impressions.

The effects of bite remedies have been defined by some subjects as "miraculous"; it seems, in fact, that the use of bites favors the relaxation of the muscles used for chewing. During sleep, the affected subject will not feel pain at the level of the jaw when waking up by tightening the teeth on the bite: the bite remedies are therefore able to decrease the intensity derived from the muscular effort of the night, favoring the "dissolution" of the muscles.

Advice against bruxism

The dentist's advice is fundamental: considering that bruxism is often the consequence of emotional stress, it is advisable to seek relaxation. First of all, you should look for the cause that causes the stress, so as to avoid reflex movements during the night (tighten your teeth tightly). Advising the patient to relax his muscles and cut out a few pieces of time to devote to himself, represents the best remedy: autogenic training, pilates, yoga, physical exercise and walking, certainly help to harmonize the various parts of the body, with a positive reflex to counteract phenomena related to stress, such as bruxism.

Alternative treatments

In the most serious cases of dental erosion caused by bruxism, reconstruction appears to be the best remedy; also in this case, until the bruxism has definitely disappeared, it is advisable to use the concomitant bites for the protection of the teeth.
