Bruxism, or teeth grinding, is a condition where a person unconsciously clenches or grinds their teeth, often during sleep. It can cause a range of problems, including jaw pain, headaches, tooth damage, and even changes in facial structure over time. Stress, misaligned teeth, or sleep disorders are common causes of bruxism, and if left untreated, it can lead to long-term oral health issues.

One of the most effective treatments for bruxism is the use of custom-made orthotics or night guards. These devices protect the teeth by creating a barrier that absorbs the pressure of grinding and prevents further damage. They also help reduce strain on the jaw muscles, providing relief from pain and discomfort.

Advanced 3D-Printed Orthotics and Surgical Guides

At our office, we use cutting-edge 3D printing technology from Sprint to create custom orthotics and surgical guides for treating bruxism. Using a precise digital scan of your teeth, we design orthotics tailored to your unique bite and jaw alignment. The 3D printer then creates the device with unparalleled accuracy, ensuring a perfect fit for maximum comfort and effectiveness.

These 3D-printed orthotics are made from durable, biocompatible materials designed to withstand the forces of grinding while being comfortable to wear. The same advanced technology is also used to produce surgical guides for complex dental procedures, providing us an exact blueprint for precision treatments.

With the combination of personalized care and innovative technology, we can help patients with bruxism protect their teeth, alleviate pain, and improve their quality of life. If you suspect you grind your teeth, talk to us about how a custom 3D-printed solution can benefit you.
