You may, without knowing it, be clenching and grinding your teeth as you sleep.
Eclipse Nightguards can help end the pain!
Our guards are designed especially for teeth clenchers, teeth grinders, and TMJ sufferers.
Bruxism is the technical term for teeth grinding and clenching that abrades teeth and can cause facial pain. People who grind and clench, often called bruxers, unintentionally bite down too hard at inappropriate times, such as during sleep.
Many people are unaware that they even have bruxism since it often occurs while they're sleeping. If you wake up with dull headaches or vise-like pain, you may be suffering from bruxism. Your dentist can usually detect the
Bruxism can either directly or indirectly cause many problems. Grinding can cause teeth to become painful or loose. Patients can literally grind away parts of their teeth, leaving them with worn surfaces or fractured enamel. People who have otherwise healthy teeth and gums can clench so often and so hard that over time their teeth become sensitive and they experience jaw pain and headaches. Forceful biting when not eating may cause the jaw to move out of proper balance.
Forceful biting when not chewing can cause the jaw to move out of alignment, creating more long-term problems. TMJ (temporomandibular joint) problems can occur, manifesting in pain in the joint, and/or pain up the side of the face or around to the back of the neck. A weak TMJ joint will make clicking and popping sounds when opening and closing the mouth. Headaches can be caused by a TMJ disorder. One out of 10 Americans suffer with frequent headaches and spend over half a billion dollars each year for drug remedies for pain.
Symptoms of TMJ problems: headaches; jaw clicking and popping; jaw stiffness or pain; facial pain and pain in the neck; shoulders and back; earaches; and ear ringing.
