Bruxism Treatment Process

1

Exemination

Before starting the treatment, the patient's jaw structure and bite alignment are thoroughly evaluated. Stress-related symptoms are also analyzed. This consultation forms the foundation of the treatment plan.

Preliminary Preparation

Before using the night guard, any existing dental issues (such as cavities, fractures, or the need for fillings) are resolved. This step ensures the night guard can be used effectively and safely.

Dental Impressions

Using a digital scanning device, measurements of the patient’s upper and lower jaw are taken, and a personalized night guard is designed. This guard offers a comfortable and effective user experience.

4

Delivery of the Night Guard and Usage Instructions

The prepared night guard is delivered to the patient, and detailed instructions are provided on how to use it. The patient is informed about when it should be removed, how to clean it, and how often it should be used.

5

Follow-Up Appoitment

During the course of treatment, follow-up appointments are scheduled at regular intervals to assess the effectiveness of the night guard and to make new plans if necessary. This process is important for achieving lasting results.
