Teeth Grinding & Clenching
Worn teeth, morning jaw soreness, and headaches from grinding or clenching (bruxism) — assessed and managed by an internationally trained Orofacial Pain - TMD specialist.
What to expect
Our goal is to safeguard your teeth and relieve muscle tension — addressing the habit and its triggers, not just the damage it leaves behind.
Is this right for you?
- Patients who grind or clench their teeth (bruxism)

1. Wear & muscle assessment:
We check tooth wear, jaw muscles and bite for signs of grinding and clenching.
2. Diagnosis:
We identify the pattern and its triggers to guide the right plan.
3. Protective plan:
A custom night guard and habit management protect your teeth and ease tension.
4. Review & adjustment:
We monitor wear and comfort, fine-tuning your guard over time.
Caring for your smile after treatment
Recovery is gradual and predictable. Here’s what to expect, stage by stage, in the days after your visit.
- Right away
Wear your night guard every night exactly as fitted.
- First days
Notice daytime clenching triggers — stress, focus, screen time — and consciously relax your jaw.

Attend reviews so we can check your guard and tooth wear over time.
