• #1 Bruxism: What Causes Teeth Grinding and How It’s Treated

  https://www.carecredit.com/well-u/health-wellness/what-you-should-know-about-bruxism-teeth-grinding/

  Grinding or clenching your teeth is called bruxism, and you can have it without even realizing it. If you’ve caught yourself clenching or grinding your teeth when stressed or have woken up with unexplained sore or tired jaw muscles or facial pain, you may have bruxism. Bruxism is on the rise and so is the collateral damage from it, including cracked and chipped teeth and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Bruxism is a medical condition in which a person involuntarily clenches or grinds their teeth. Children and adults can have bruxism, and it frequently goes undetected. Grinding is more common while a person is asleep, making it more likely for a partner or parent to notice it. However, it can happen while awake, too. On the other hand, jaw clenching tends to be more common during waking hours, and is often associated with periods of stress, frustration or intense concentration. Bruxism can cause problems with the temporomandibular joint, such as jaw pain and misalignment. Treatment for bruxism can vary depending on its causes as well as any resulting complications, such as tooth damage or TMJ disorders. If stress is a contributing factor, your healthcare provider may recommend lifestyle changes and therapies to help you cope with stress and anxiety. A mouth guard cushions and separates your upper and lower teeth to help protect them from damage and prevent grinding and clenching. Your healthcare provider will likely recommend behavioral changes to practice at home. These are to help you be more aware of your clenching and grinding habits and change your resting jaw position. Biofeedback is a cognitive behavioral therapy technique that uses positive feedback to change the way your muscles behave so you can control your jaw clenching and teeth grinding. Medication may be used for short periods depending on your cause and symptoms. This can include anti-anxiety medications to help reduce stress, muscle relaxants to reduce jaw muscle tightness and pain or sedatives if you have a sleep disorder. If you’re experiencing muscle pain and stiffness, your healthcare provider may recommend physical therapy so you learn how to stretch and relax your muscles. You may need dental treatment, such as dental crowns or teeth contouring, to repair teeth damaged from grinding and clenching. Here are some tips that may help you stop grinding or clenching your teeth: Make a conscious effort to keep your lips and teeth apart so you don’t clench your teeth. Set an alarm or place notes where you’ll see them to remind you to relax your jaw. Practice good sleep hygiene, such as taking a warm shower or bath before sleep, avoiding screen time for a couple of hours before bed and sleeping in a dark and quiet room. Don’t smoke. Limit your intake of alcohol and caffeine. Avoid it altogether for a few hours before you go to bed. Try to eliminate stressors, when possible. Engage in relaxing activities, such as yoga, meditation and exercise. Have regular dental exams. Apply an ice pack or wet heat to soothe sore or swollen jaw muscles.

• #2 Bruxism Management: Overview, Definition, Etiology

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/2066277-overview

  Effective management of bruxism relies on the recognition of potential causative factors associated with the condition. For example, since daytime or diurnal bruxism may be confounded by factors such as stress, distress, and other psychosocial parameters, considering interventions such as habit modification, relaxation therapy, biofeedback, or counseling may be appropriate. […] The health care provider attempting to manage bruxism should understand that nocturnal or sleep bruxism is not going to be cured by intervention. And the behavior is likely to decrease with age. Daytime bruxism can sometimes be effectively eliminated via intervention, suggesting a cure, but recrudescence of the condition is common. […] Appliance therapy has been extensively studied from 1966 to the present day, and several extensive reviews have been published in the last 10 years. Occlusal splints are generally appreciated to prevent tooth wear and injury and perhaps reduce night time clenching or grinding behavior rather than altering a causative malocclusion.

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/2066277-overview

  Evidence-based management of bruxism is hampered by the limited number of randomized controlled studies available for assessing the efficacy of various treatment strategies, the historical lack of understanding with respect to the etiology of the condition, and the changing diagnostic criteria by which bruxism is defined. Nonetheless, the literature contains references to a number of management strategies that may be useful in protecting the dentition, periodontium, and the jaw musculature and temporomandibular joint from this potentially destructive behavior. […] The diagnosis of bruxism is descriptive in nature, contingent on the presence of symptoms such as acknowledged tooth grinding, pain in the TMJ or jaw musculature, temporal headache, tooth hypersensitivity or mobility, and poor sleep quality. These subjective symptoms are coupled with clinical signs such as abnormal tooth wear, tongue indentations, the presence of a linea alba along the biting plane of the buccal (cheek) mucosa, gum recession, masseter hypertrophy, and/or broken fillings or teeth.

  The type of appliance that has been studied and suggested as helpful in managing the consequences of nocturnal bruxism is the flat-planed stabilization splint, also called an occlusal bite guard, bruxism appliance, bite plate, and night guard. This appliance can vary in appearance and properties. […] The most recent advocated pharmacological approach to managing the pathological effects of nocturnal and diurnal bruxism is injection of the muscles of mastication with botulinum toxin A. This neurotoxin inhibits the release of acetylcholine from the neuromuscular junction, essentially rendering the muscle incapable of activity. […] The use of relaxation strategies such as meditation, hypnosis, guided imagery, self-monitoring, habit retraining, cognitive behavioral intervention, and biofeedback in the management of nocturnal bruxism have not been validated by sound scientific studies (eg, RCTs and studies using nocturnal polysomnography and psychometry). Nonetheless, because these interventions are noninvasive and have been shown to be effective in controlling other forms of habitual behavior, they may have utility in treating diurnal or daytime behavior.
