Methods of treating bruxism at our clinic

We offer a comprehensive approach to bruxism therapy, tailored to the severity of symptoms and individual patient needs.

We make relaxation splints based on a precise cast of your teeth. They provide effective protection of the enamel against abrasion, relax the jaw muscles, and can be used during the day or at night. The effects are visible after 2–3 weeks.

Botulinum toxin therapy reduces the tension of overly tense masseter muscles without affecting chewing function. The procedure takes 15 minutes and the effects last for 4-6 months. Ideal for patients with severe bruxism.

In addition, we use enamel strengthening and bite correction. In more difficult cases, we combine several methods for maximum effectiveness.

Based on the results, we select the optimal method or combine several therapies.

Who is bruxism treatment for?

Consult our dentist if you experience the following symptoms:

You grind your teeth at night or clench your jaw during the day
You experience chronic pain in your jaw, jawbone, or temple
You suffer from morning headaches
You have noticed excessive tooth wear or cracking fillings
You have difficulty chewing food
Your jaw has changed shape (enlarged muscles)
Sleep problems, chronic fatigue, difficulty concentrating

We treat bruxism in children (from the age of 6), adults, and seniors. In the youngest patients, early intervention prevents malocclusion and pathological developmental changes in the jaw.

Don’t wait – untreated bruxism leads to damage to the temporomandibular joints, tooth decay, and costly prosthetic treatment.

The process of treating bruxism at Dentaxo Wrocław – step by step

Step 1

Consultation and diagnosis (30-45 min)

During the first visit, we conduct a medical interview, examine the temporomandibular joints, and assess the condition of the teeth and jaw muscles. Based on the diagnosis, we propose the optimal treatment method or a combination of several therapies.

Step 2

Starting therapy

In the case of relaxation splints, we make a precise cast of the jaw – the finished splint is available after 7-10 days. Botox therapy takes 15 minutes, and the first effects appear after 3-5 days.

Step 3

Control and monitoring

We check the results after 2 weeks and 2 months from the start of treatment. Regular check-ups every 6 months help maintain long-term results.

What is bruxism and what are its symptoms?

Bruxism is the unconscious clenching or grinding of teeth, which most often occurs during sleep (nocturnal bruxism), but can also occur during the day (diurnal bruxism). It is estimated that this problem affects up to 20% of the world’s population, and the number of cases is constantly growing, which classifies bruxism as a disease of civilization.

In many people, bruxism does not show any clear symptoms in its early stages, which makes early diagnosis difficult. In advanced cases, it leads to serious health consequences: enamel abrasion, damage to the temporomandibular joints, chronic headaches, and changes in the appearance of the lower part of the face.

Causes of bruxism – what causes teeth grinding?

Scientists are still investigating the exact mechanisms behind bruxism, but they point to three main groups of risk factors.

The most common cause is psychological factors, including chronic stress and emotional tension. Anxiety disorders and depression lead to overproduction of cortisol (the stress hormone), which directly affects the tension of the jaw muscles. Sleep problems and insomnia further exacerbate teeth grinding at night.

Physiological factors include malocclusion and incorrect jaw alignment, which mechanically force abnormal muscle tension. Oral diseases (tooth decay, periodontitis), degeneration of the temporomandibular joints, and mineral deficiencies (especially magnesium) also increase the risk of developing bruxism.

The third category is environmental and behavioral factors. Caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine abuse stimulate the nervous system and increase teeth clenching. Poor diet and gastroesophageal reflux can cause discomfort leading to parafunction. Some medications, especially SSRI antidepressants, have bruxism as a side effect. An intense lifestyle without relaxation techniques completes the circle of risk factors.

Bruxism most often develops in people between the ages of 18 and 45, although it also occurs in children, especially during periods of intense tooth development or school stress.
