Teeth grinding (bruxism) affects up to 1 in 10 Australians and can cause worn enamel, cracked teeth, jaw pain, headaches, and TMJ disorders. At Lumi Dental we diagnose and treat bruxism with custom-fitted night guards (occlusal splints) that protect your teeth while you sleep. We also assess for underlying causes and can recommend additional treatments to manage jaw tension and TMJ pain.

Common signs include waking with jaw pain, headaches, or earache, worn, flattened, or chipped teeth, tooth sensitivity that seems to have no cause, and tension or clicking in the jaw joint (TMJ). A custom night guard is moulded precisely to your teeth and is far more effective and comfortable than over-the-counter options. We also offer muscle relaxant treatments for severe cases and can refer to physiotherapists who specialise in TMJ rehabilitation if needed.
A custom night guard prevents grinding from wearing down natural teeth, crowns, implants, and other dental restorations.
By protecting your jaw joints and relaxing facial muscles, night guards significantly reduce morning jaw pain and headaches.
Reducing grinding can lead to better, less-interrupted sleep, helping you wake refreshed rather than fatigued.
Unlike generic guards, our custom night guards fit perfectly and are comfortable enough to wear all night without disturbance.
Bruxism is unconscious teeth grinding, usually at night. Symptoms include jaw pain, headaches upon waking, worn-down teeth, sensitive teeth, and sleep disruption. Your partner may also notice grinding sounds.
A custom night guard cushions your teeth and protects them from wear caused by grinding. It also relaxes jaw muscles, reducing pain and preventing further damage to your teeth and restorations.
Yes, chronic grinding can aggravate or cause temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, leading to jaw pain, clicking, and difficulty opening the mouth. A night guard can help prevent and manage these issues.
Beyond night guards, stress reduction, improved sleep habits, avoiding stimulants before bed, and jaw exercises can help. Dr. Tran may recommend a combination of approaches for best results.
