Teeth clenching or grinding is an unconscious movement, usually during stress or sleep. This can put pressure on the jaw joint and cause pain and tooth wear.
A night plate is a transparent appliance used to prevent clenching or grinding of the teeth. It reduces the pressure on the jaw joint and prevents the teeth from wearing down.
No, the night plate has a light and comfortable construction. It is put on before going to sleep and can be used easily.
Botox is applied to the chewing muscles to reduce the overactivity of these muscles. Thus, teeth clenching and jaw pain problems are alleviated.
The effect of Botox treatment usually lasts 4-6 months. Long-term relief can be achieved with regular application.
