Consumers Given New Mouth Guard Resources to Fight Teeth Grinding

Oct. 3, 2011 - PRLog -- The newer products are being championed not only because of their usefulness in protecting teeth from teeth clenching overnight, but also because they are engineered to prevent the causes of grinding. The devices are expected to alleviate or reduce instances of misalignment of teeth, adverse reactions to medication, or even stress related factors that lead to grinding.

TeethGrindingMouthguards.com is among the more recent class of consumer education resources devoted to providing recent and relevant information on both the causes and associated issues related to chronic teeth grinding, and recommendations as to the best medical or commercial remedies to those afflicted with the problem. Teeth grinding or bruxism has become more common in recent years, and the need to use a frontline device to address the immediate problem of people damaging their teeth has increased. For many people, after a mouth guard is installed, although the grinding has not been technically cured, no further damage ensues, giving the consumer time to work out a longer term solution.

Key to the operation of the newer mouth guards such as Grind Guard N is the custom-made aspect of the devices. Since the teeth of individuals vary by age, condition and the type of original dental work performed on them, the better consumer guides to treatment for bruxism recommend buying mouth guards or night guards that specifically conform to the shape of the teeth being protected. Guards that are constructed with anterior force concentration (involving a central bar that releases the stimulus for clenching) reduce the muscle clenching action associated with teeth grinding by up to 70%.

Bruxism cannot be alleviated with a teeth grinding mouth guard alone, however, and competent dentists as well as knowledgeable sites like TeethGrindingMouthguards.com also recommend finding ways to relieve stress before bedtime, and other lifestyle changes that may remove the main causes for the grinding. Some experts recommend making it a conscious habit during the day of keeping the teeth apart whenever not chewing or swallowing food. It is believed that actively practicing letting your mouth area muscles relax can help induce the same tendency once the subject is unconscious during sleep. Dental work can also repair issues relating to misalignment that may also be contributing to bruxism. Whatever the final cause, the website stresses purchasing a custom mouth guard as the first line of defense.
