Treatment of Bruxism(Teeth Grinding)
Mouth guards and splints – Mouth guards and splints are a common form of treatment. Basically, they are appliances worn over the teeth that prevent grinding damages. There are several varieties of guard, each with slightly different attributes. 

Biofeedback – Biofeedback is a treatment that aims to help the sufferer by ‘unlearning’ negative habits such as teeth grinding. It works by providing a stimulus to alert the person – either consciously or sub-consciously – when they have tension in the jaw. 

NTI-TSS –  The Tension Suppression System, (NTI), is a small device that fits over the two top incisor teeth. This device prevents the top and bottom teeth from touching the lower ones and so decreases muscle tension.

Taste-based-method – Another form of biofeedback is the ‘taste-based-method’. This involves the insertion of a small pack between the two back molars. When the mouth is clenched too tightly, the packs are ruptured releasing a foul tasting substance that alerts the person to the tension in the jaw. 

Stress therapy – Behaviour therapy and stress therapy are also treatments that have been used for teeth grinding. These remedies help by demonstrating relaxation techniques, mouth-jaw positioning exercises and behaviour therapy. The therapies aim not only to alleviate anxiety, but to understand the route cause of why the person is grinding their teeth. In severe cases of teeth grinding, doctors may prescribe muscle relaxants.
