Bruxism, ATM and CAT occlusion problems:
Identify and treat the symptoms
Bruxism is the term that defines the habit of grinding or clenching the teeth, an action that can trigger alterations in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and generate pain in the mouth, head, neck, ear and other related areas. This disorder affects the masticatory system and can cause significant functional limitations.
“Proper treatment of bruxism and TMJ problems can relieve persistent pain and improve the functionality of your masticatory system.”
Common symptoms of bruxism and TMJ problems
If you experience any of these symptoms, it could be bruxism, TMJ and CAT occlusion problems:
- Sharp pain in the temporomandibular joint or masticatory muscles, radiating to the face, ear, head or neck.
- Clicking in the jaw when opening or closing the mouth, near the ear area.
- Feeling of strain when chewing or difficulty opening the mouth fully.
- Frequent headaches, related to tension in the TMJ (more than 50% of headaches have this etiology).
- Irreversible wear on teeth, especially when sleeping, similar to wear caused by chewing ice.
“Addressing bruxism and TMJ dysfunctions early is key to preventing tooth wear and other associated problems.”
Common causes of bruxism
The origin of bruxism and TMJ problems can be diverse, but it is clinically proven that:
- Tension and stress are common triggers.
- Changes in the position of the teeth contribute to the development of this pathology.
Bruxism, especially when it occurs during sleep, not only causes wear on the teeth, but can also negatively impact the patient's quality of life.
