Bruxism Treatment
Bruxism refers to a condition where you gnash and grind your teeth. Up to 15% of Americans suffer from bruxism during their sleep, while up to 30% of people grind their teeth. The main teeth grinding causes include stress, anxiety, and sleeping issues such as apnea and snoring.
If untreated, bruxism can lead to seriously damaged teeth, horrible jaw pain, headaches, locked jaw, and worn tooth enamel. At the Advanced Dental Wellness Center, we can alleviate all of these symptoms with our bruxism treatment. Contact us today, and our dentists will provide you with a world-class non-invasive, and safe treatment for bruxism for an amazing price!

What Causes Bruxism?
Awake bruxism is largely caused by anxiety and stress. It can also be caused by anger and tension. Particular personality types are more likely to suffer from bruxism than others. Stimulants such as caffeine can also lead to an increase in awake bruxism.
Sleep bruxism is closely related to other sleeping disorders, such as snoring and sleep apnea. It is often caused by a lack of oxygen when sleeping and stress such as constant worries. Certain medicines, particulate antidepressants, can cause sleep bruxism, and your sleeping position may also put you at an increased risk for sleep bruxism.
Is Bruxism Serious?
Mild bruxism does not cause significant health problems. However, long-term sleep bruxism can lead to serious damage to your teeth, nasty tooth pain, and unbearable headaches and jaw pain.
It is not uncommon for bruxism to completely destroy a person’s teeth, forcing them to receive high cost implants. You can avoid all complications from bruxism with our grinding teeth treatment which is non-invasive, fast, and does not cost an arm and a leg!
Frequently Asked Questions
How Is Bruxism Treated?
At the Advanced Dental Wellness Center, we can create a custom mouthguard to cure bruxism. We will analyze your teeth for wear and tear, identify bruxism and then take a mold of your teeth. We will use the mold to create a custom mouth guard which perfectly fits your teeth.

Our bruxism guards provide a simple and long-term solution to teeth grinding.

If our dentists suspect the issue is caused by poor sleep we recommend you contact a sleep specialist and book a polysomnography (sleep study). Once you have received recommendations from your sleep specialists our dentists will be able to create the best treatment plan for you.
How to Prevent Bruxism?
To prevent bruxism, you can try out these methods:
- Reduce anxiety through meditation
- Avoid caffeine and coffee
- Sleep on your side
- Breathe through your nose
- Take a muscle relaxant
- Take anti-anxiety medication
As bruxism is mostly related to stress and poor sleeping habits, if you address both of these issues, you may be able to fix teeth grinding causes. However, the above methods are not as effective and have a higher cost compared to a dental solution.
How Much Do Bruxism Treatments Cost?
A bruxism mouth guard costs between $200 and $500. This mouthguard will last for years and provide you with total protection against bruxism. This reasonable price will prevent you from needing costly dental procedures such as implants and save you thousands.
