Bruxism treatments in Valencia that we can recommend according to your case

He bruxism It can have varying degrees of intensity and does not always manifest in the same way. In some patients, it appears as tooth wear; in others, as jaw pain, muscle tension, sensitivity, headaches, or discomfort in the temporomandibular joint.

Therefore, before prescribing a treatment, in Asistencia Dental Plus we carried out a personalized assessment This involves analyzing the condition of the teeth, bite, jaw muscles, and any signs of overload. The goal is to protect the teeth, reduce associated discomfort, and prevent the problem from worsening.

Custom-made bite splints

The occlusal splints They are one of the most common treatments for controlling the effects of bruxism. They are custom-made for each patient and are usually worn at night, when teeth clenching or grinding often goes unnoticed.

Their main function is to prevent direct contact between teeth, reduce tooth wear, and better distribute the forces of biting. They can also help reduce strain on the jaw muscles and the temporomandibular joint.

Unlike generic splints, a custom splint is tailored to the patient's mouth and requires regular checkups to ensure it still fits correctly.

Complementary therapies and jaw tension control

In some cases, bruxism cannot be controlled with a mouthguard alone. It may be necessary to combine dental treatment with complementary measures aimed at reducing muscle tension and improving jaw function.

Depending on the case, jaw relaxation exercises, guidelines to avoid clenching habits during the day, specialized physiotherapy, or assessment of the temporomandibular joint may be recommended if there are clicking sounds, pain when opening the mouth, or limited movement.

These measures do not replace dental diagnosis, but they can help improve the evolution of treatment when there is a significant muscle load.

  • Suitable for: patients with jaw pain, facial tension, headaches, neck discomfort or symptoms associated with the TMJ.
  • AdvantagesThey help reduce muscle overload and complement the use of the splint when the case requires it.

Dental rehabilitation in cases of severe wear

When bruxism persists for a long time without treatment, it can lead to advanced wear, cracks, fractures, or loss of tooth height. In these cases, in addition to controlling the bruxism, it may be necessary to evaluate a... dental rehabilitation to restore the form, function, and aesthetics of the affected parts.

The type of restoration will depend on the degree of wear and the condition of each tooth. Restorative treatments, aesthetic reconstructions, inlays, crowns, or other solutions may be considered, always after stabilizing the problem and properly planning the bite.

It is important not to rebuild worn teeth without first controlling the cause of the wear, because bruxism could damage the restorations again.

  • Suitable for: patients with advanced tooth wear, fractures, loss of tooth shape or aesthetic alterations caused by bruxism.
  • AdvantagesIt allows for the restoration of dental anatomy, improves chewing function, and protects affected teeth.

Questions frequent

We answer some of the most common questions about our Bruxism treatments in Valencia so you can choose the best option for you with complete confidence.
Bruxism can manifest in different ways. Some patients experience jaw pain upon waking, facial tension, temporomandibular joint discomfort, headaches, tooth sensitivity, or visible wear on their teeth. It's also possible for a patient to be unaware of clenching or grinding their teeth, especially if it occurs at night. In many cases, bruxism is detected during a dental checkup when wear, small cracks, muscle strain, or signs of excessive pressure on the teeth are observed. At Asistencia Dental Plus, we can assess your case to confirm if you have bruxism and determine the appropriate treatment to protect your teeth and reduce jaw strain.
Bruxism can be controlled, but it doesn't always disappear completely. In many cases, it's related to factors such as stress, muscle tension, bite problems, jaw habits, or temporomandibular joint disorders. The goal of treatment is to reduce dental damage, relieve muscle strain, and prevent the problem from worsening. This may involve a custom-made night guard, regular checkups, and, if necessary, additional measures to manage jaw tension.
A night guard is a custom-made device typically worn at night to protect teeth from wear caused by clenching or grinding. Its main function is to prevent direct contact between teeth, better distribute biting forces, and help reduce strain on the jaw muscles and temporomandibular joint. It does not eliminate the cause of bruxism on its own, but it helps control its effects and protect the mouth.
At first, a short adjustment period may be necessary, but a well-designed night guard should be comfortable and stable. Because it is custom-made, it adapts to the shape of your teeth and allows for safe use at night. If the mouth guard is uncomfortable, moves, causes excessive pressure, or prevents you from closing your mouth properly, it should be checked at a dental clinic. Night guards require adjustments and regular checkups to ensure they continue to function correctly.
The main difference lies in the diagnosis, fit, and safety. A custom-made bite guard is designed based on the patient's mouth and is adapted to their bite, the condition of their teeth, and the way their dental arches fit together. Generic or over-the-counter bite guards do not take these factors into account. They may not fit well, cause discomfort, alter the bite, or fail to adequately protect the teeth. Therefore, if bruxism is present, it is advisable to have a dental evaluation and use a custom-made bite guard.
Yes. Prolonged bruxism can cause tooth wear, cracks, fractures, sensitivity, pain when chewing, and overloading of restorations such as fillings, crowns, or veneers. In advanced cases, the wear can alter the shape of the teeth and affect the aesthetics of the smile and chewing function. That's why it's important to treat it before the damage becomes more extensive.
Yes. Constant clenching can overload the jaw muscles and cause discomfort upon waking, facial pain, neck tension, headaches, or jaw fatigue. It can also be related to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) discomfort, clicking or popping sounds, difficulty opening the mouth, or pain when chewing. In these cases, it's important to assess not only the teeth but also the bite, muscles, and joint.
The price of a bite guard in Valencia can vary depending on the type of guard, the materials used, the complexity of the case, and the necessary adjustments. Before providing a quote, at Asistencia Dental Plus we conduct an assessment to check for bruxism, analyze the condition of the teeth, and determine if a bite guard is the most appropriate treatment. This allows us to develop a personalized and safe solution.
