Custom Treatment for Bruxism and Snoring Treatments

Optimize Your Health

Improve sleep quality.

Sleep is an essential restorative process that plays a vital role in supporting your overall health and well-being. Deep, restful sleep helps your body to recover and repair, allowing your brain, cardiovascular system, and metabolism to function optimally. Adequate sleep also supports your cognitive function, which affects memory, focus, and emotional regulation. On the other hand, insufficient sleep can have a detrimental effect on your health, both physically and mentally. It can lead to systemic health issues and chronic conditions, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease. That’s why it’s so important to seek treatment if you aren’t getting the quality sleep your body needs. Whether snoring or teeth grinding is the problem, CinciSleep can help you manage your symptoms for better health and quality of life.

What does it mean?

Bruxism

Bruxism is a habitual condition where a person grinds or clenches their teeth. Bruxism while sleeping is very common. However, it can also occur when a person is awake. Most people who grind or clench their teeth do it unconsciously. Often, it’s not until a person experiences bruxism’s negative effects that they even realize there is a problem. Stress, tension, nervousness, and certain medications are all potential causes.

How does untreated bruxism affect health?

Long-Term Consequences of Bruxism

Over time, bruxism can lead to issues with your teeth, in particular, but it can also affect your overall health. Common issues include:

Dental Problems
The persistent clenching and excessive pressure placed on the teeth as a result of bruxism can lead to chipped or cracked teeth. It can also lead to increased tooth sensitivity, making the consumption of hot and cold foods and beverages uncomfortable. Your enamel may also erode and wear down prematurely, putting you at a heightened risk of tooth decay.

Headaches and Pain
Repetitive grinding and clenching strains more than the teeth. It can also lead to chronic discomfort and soreness throughout the jaw and neck, often manifesting as headaches, jaw dysfunction, and neck and shoulder pain.

Custom-Made Oral Appliances

Bruxism can be effectively treated with an oral appliance (mouth guard), tailor made to fit your mouth comfortably. You’ll wear your appliance while you sleep to protect your teeth from the damaging effects of grinding and clenching. The appliance works by repositioning your jaw and creating a barrier between the upper and lower teeth. It not only protects your teeth against enamel damage but also reduces muscle tension in the jaw. This improves sleep quality and reduces side effects like headaches and neck and jaw pain.
