Squeezing and grinding are usually unintentional jaw movements during sleep. Many people who grind and grind their teeth are unaware that they have such a habit. So, what are the reasons for grinding and grinding? How is grinding and grinding done?
Reasons for Tightening and Grinding Teeth
Stress: Stress is one of the most important reasons for squeezing and grinding. Being extremely precise, precise and taut is also one of the grinding and grinding factors.
Malocclusion: Malformation of the teeth, in other words, malocclusion, is caused by old prosthesis or fillings. It is one of the reasons for tooth alignment, clamping and grinding.
Symptoms and Damages of Grinding and Teeth Grinding
Enamel losses and abrasion occur on the chewing surfaces of the teeth as the teeth are constantly in contact during grinding and squeezing of the teeth. This wear on the chewing surfaces of the teeth is more pronounced in the anterior teeth than in the other teeth. As these abrasions progress rapidly, sensitivity to heat and cold occurs in the teeth.
Tightening and grinding of teeth results in gingival recessions and notches on the hard tissues of the teeth. The notches in these hard tissues of the tooth cause sensitivity in the teeth and the tooth may break as it progresses.
Clamping and grinding teeth are performed without the person noticing during sleep. Doing these chin movements all night will cause you to get tired in the morning, headaches, and muscle aches in your cheeks. In addition, the jaw joint will be locked and a cracking sound will be heard.
As the grinding and grinding of the teeth occurs in a continuous biting motion, irritation and a white streaked line form on the cheek where the teeth come into contact with each other.
Micro cracks occur both on the cutting edge of the front teeth and on the protruding area of the rear teeth due to tooth grinding. These cracks in the teeth cause the teeth to break and tooth losses.
Teeth and Grinding Treatment
The most important purpose of squeezing and grinding is to protect the jaw joint, prevent tooth erosion, eliminate headache and muscle pain in the cheeks.
During the night’s sleep, we can prevent the teeth from being squeezed and ground, and the consequences of these movements can only be avoided by interrupting contact between teeth using silicone plates. These plates are called night protectors. With night protective grinding, patient sleep does not harm the patient’s teeth.
Muscle relaxants and sleep regulators are used in the advanced stages of dental clamping and grinding teeth. Old or faulty fillings and dentures are replaced and missing teeth are treated with appropriate dentures.
SANDING PREVENTS PREVENTION OF COATINGS
Patients with dental grinding problems often require dental veneers and are usually; cannot overlays. Patients with grinding problems may have veneers, but if the veneers are not damaged from time to time, they must protect their teeth with a night protector.
