Many patients notice themselves clenching or grinding their teeth.  Sleep bruxism, or tooth grinding while sleeping, is often overlooked but can be due to a more serious condition of obstructive sleep apnea.  Bruxism can lead to tooth breakage, tooth loss, or TMJ issues.

Most people who notice themselves grinding during the day, report the grinding when they are under stress such as at work.

An oral appliance can treat your tooth grinding and prevent other health related issues.  We get a diagnostic sleep test completed so that we know which oral appliance is best for your condition.  

We also evaluate you to see if you have misaligned teeth.  Treating malocclusion with invisalign can also reduce tooth grinding and protect your smile.  Custom retainers at the end of invisalign treatment can serve as a night guard to protect your teeth and prevent a relapse of tooth movements.
