Occlusion and Dysfunctions

Bruxism is the involuntary act of grinding or clenching the teeth, applying excessive force to the chewing muscles. It can occur during the day, linked to stress and concentration, or at night, unconsciously during sleep. It can cause headaches, jaw tension, enamel wear, tooth fractures, and sensitivity. In severe cases, it affects the gums and bone support. Diagnosis is based on clinical signs, such as tooth wear. Treatment includes custom mouthguards, occlusal adjustments, and guidance on protecting oral health.

Custom mouthguards, also known as sports mouthguards, are essential for anyone who plays contact sports such as boxing, soccer, rugby, hockey, or martial arts. They adapt perfectly to the dental structure, ensuring maximum protection, comfort, and stability during physical activity. They prevent tooth fractures, gum injuries, jaw trauma, and impacts on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Suitable for all ages, including those who wear orthodontic appliances, they offer protection without affecting athletic performance.
