Bruxism

Bruxism , or involuntary teeth grinding or clenching, can manifest as daytime bruxism, nighttime bruxism, or both (mixed bruxism). Daytime bruxism is often linked to stress, anxiety, or habits such as clenching the jaw while concentrating. Conversely, nighttime bruxism occurs during the night and is characterized by rhythmic and unconscious jaw muscle activity.

Sleep bruxism has complex causes, involving neurological, physiological, and sleep-related factors. Approximately 8 to 10% of adults in the general population report suffering from sleep bruxism.

This percentage would be significantly higher in people suffering from obstructive sleep apnea

Causes of sleep bruxism.

Sleep bruxism results from a combination of psychological, physiological, and external factors rather than a single cause.

• hereditary components
• Anatomical, dental, and structural factors
• Neurological and sleep-related factors are also strongly implicated

Effects of untreated sleep bruxism.

• Dental damage
• Temporomandibular joint disorders
• Systemic fatigue : sleep bruxism disrupts sleep architecture.
• Headaches and migraines.
• Sleep disorders : Frequent micro-awakenings caused by bruxism prevent restful sleep.

• Stress management
• Biofeedback therapy
• Sleep hygiene: Improving your sleep habits

Indications for Sanabrux

Using Sanabrux prevents headaches, migraines, and pain in the jaw muscles if you suffer from bruxism (teeth grinding).
Bruxism can occur both during the day and at night. Unfortunately, those who suffer from bruxism have no control over their jaw clenching, especially at night (approximately 80% of cases). Linked to stress, bruxism originates in the central nervous system. The only solution is to use a Sanabrux mouthguard to protect your teeth and avoid the discomfort associated with jaw clenching and teeth grinding. Over time, bruxism causes significant wear on tooth enamel and makes your teeth more sensitive to changes in temperature and food.

Use of Sanabrux dental protection

The Sanabrux dental protection device for bruxism prevents you from grinding and clenching your teeth. Bruxism causes wear and tear on the teeth (weakening the enamel), and can even lead to their complete destruction. Bruxism also causes tension and pain in the neck and back. Temporomandibular joint problems are also common.

The Sanabrux mouthguard is applied to the teeth of the upper jaw. Its innovative and lightweight design ensures maximum comfort. Sanabrux frees you from the problems associated with teeth grinding and preserves the rest of your partner.
