Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, is a common condition affecting many people, often without them realising it. Typically occurring during sleep or periods of stress, grinding or clenching your teeth can lead to jaw pain, headaches, and tooth wear. In some cases, bruxism can also result in temporomandibular disorders (TMD), which involve issues with the temporomandibular joints (TMJ)—the jaw joints that allow you to chew and speak. TMD symptoms may include jaw stiffness, pain, or clicking, all of which can significantly impact your quality of life. According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, bruxism and temporomandibular disorders are medical conditions that require proper care and attention.

At Teri Aesthetics, we specialise in treating bruxism and TMJ-related issues through targeted, non-surgical treatment options designed to alleviate discomfort and prevent further damage. Our treatments, which include muscle relaxers such as muscle-relaxing injections, work by reducing the strain on the jaw muscles, providing relief from jaw pain and other side effects like headaches or disrupted sleep. For those with awake bruxism, relaxation techniques and lifestyle modifications also play a key role in managing symptoms. Additionally, we may recommend custom mouth guards to protect your teeth and jaw joints while you sleep.

Sleep disorders caused by bruxism can affect not only you but also your sleep partner, as grinding can be noisy and disruptive. That’s why we take a holistic approach to treating bruxism and TMD. For some, lifestyle factors like chewing gum excessively can exacerbate symptoms, and addressing these habits is part of our tailored care plan. We aim to improve your overall wellbeing by targeting the root causes of your condition.

Our experienced practitioners at Teri Aesthetics provide a personalised treatment plan based on a thorough assessment of your condition. Whether you’re dealing with TMJ disorder, persistent jaw pain, or the effects of prolonged grinding or clenching your teeth, we’re here to help. Many of our clients report significant improvements, including reduced pain, better-functioning jaw joints, and improved sleep quality after treatment.

With a focus on innovative solutions, relaxation techniques, and preventative care, we’re committed to helping you regain control over your symptoms. At Teri Aesthetics, our mission is to help you live a healthier, more comfortable life free from the discomfort of bruxism and TMJ-related medical conditions. Let us assist you in finding relief and preventing further damage.
