Bruxism
Do you suffer from grinding your teeth or tense jaw muscles? Bruxism, the unconscious grinding or clenching of teeth, can cause long-term damage to teeth and jaw joints. At InGold Aesthetics, we offer effective, customized treatment plans to relieve these symptoms and protect your dental health. Our modern therapies improve both the functionality and the aesthetic appearance of your jaw.
What is Bruxism ?
Bruxism refers to the involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth that often occurs at night. This chronic overuse of the jaw muscles can lead to tooth damage, tension, headaches and jaw joint problems. Stress, anxiety or a misalignment of the jaw are often the causes. Teeth grinding can manifest itself in ground teeth, tooth sensitivity and pain in the jaw and neck muscles, with migraines very often associated with it. Without treatment, bruxism can cause long-term damage to the teeth and jaw joint.

How is bruxism treated at InGold Aesthetics?
Treating bruxism requires an individualized approach to achieve the best possible results. At InGold Aesthetics we rely on a combination of different therapeutic approaches. A dental splint (bite splint) is often custom-made and is worn at night to protect the teeth and reduce pressure on the jaw muscles. We also offer treatments with botulinum toxin type A, which is injected specifically into the overactive jaw muscles. This reduces muscle activity, causing relaxation and pain relief. Laser treatments can also be used to loosen the muscles and promote healing. In many cases, a combination of these therapies is used to achieve the best possible results.
Areas of application for the treatment of bruxism
Treatments at InGold Aesthetics provide solutions for a variety of symptoms including:
- Splint therapy: Protection of the teeth from abrasion through individually made bite splints that are worn at night.
- Botulinum toxin injections: Targeted injections into the jaw muscles to relax overactive muscles and reduce grinding.
- Laser therapy: Promoting relaxation and loosening of the jaw muscles through painless laser treatment.
- Combination therapies: A combination of splint therapy, botulinum toxin and laser is often used to achieve optimal results.
