Bruxism and TMJ

Say no to headaches.

Addressing Bruxism at Estepona Dental Clinic

At Estepona Dental Clinic, we help you treat bruxism. We provide tailored occlusal splints for each case. We have specialists in bruxism and TMJ.

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the joint that connects the jaw to the skull. Two joints that work synchronously. TMJ disorders and overload problems of the mandibular muscles are another cause of non-dental origin face and headache pain. A significant percentage of the population has some functional alteration of the masticatory system and is unaware of it. Commonly known as bruxism, it’s a habit some people have of clenching their teeth against each other, occurring either voluntarily or involuntarily.

The most common symptoms of these disorders are: facial pain, headaches, ear pain, neck pain, muscle or jaw pain, clicking sounds, limited mouth mobility, and/or intermittent lockjaw.

Consequences of Bruxism

The problems this habit brings are numerous and often have irreversible consequences. Here are some:

Understand the causes

Bruxism can arise for several reasons. Stress, anxiety, sleep disorders, posture, or dental occlusion problems are some of the most common causes.

At Estepona Dental Clinic, we conduct a comprehensive diagnosis to identify the root cause and offer you the most appropriate treatment.
