Bruxism is known among the people and generally as clenching.

In particular, a contraction occurs in our massater muscle that performs the tightening process and causes pain. In general, patients feel pain due to bruxism on the edges of the jaw when they get up in the morning.

We recommend plaque therapy as a treatment for bruxism. If the individual plaque prepared according to the measurement taken from the patient’s mouth is used regularly, it is aimed to eliminate bruxism.

In some cases, medical drugs are also used. It is expected to give results after an average of 2 months of use. In cases where it does not pass, massater botox is performed.
