Teeth Grinding and Night Guards Near Canada Bay

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.

Signs You Might Be Grinding Your Teeth

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.

Key Benefits

Protects teeth from wear and damage

A custom night guard prevents grinding from wearing down natural teeth, crowns, implants, and other dental restorations.

Reduces jaw pain and headaches

By protecting your jaw joints and relaxing facial muscles, night guards significantly reduce morning jaw pain and headaches.

Improves sleep quality

Reducing grinding can lead to better, less-interrupted sleep, helping you wake refreshed rather than fatigued.

Custom fit and comfort

Unlike generic guards, our custom night guards fit perfectly and are comfortable enough to wear all night without disturbance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is bruxism and what are its symptoms?

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.

How does a custom night guard help?

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.

Is teeth grinding linked to jaw problems?

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.

Are there other ways to manage bruxism?

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.
