Stanley Dentistry offers bruxism therapy to help patients who suffer from pain in their jaw. Bruxism is a subconscious process that is characterized by the grinding of teeth and typically includes the clenching of the jaw. We offer several options, from therapy to appliances, to alleviate problems associated with bruxism.
How does a bruxism appliance work?
While many patients are unaware they suffer from bruxism or teeth grinding, this condition can cause serious injury to the teeth or jaw. Stanley Dentistry in Cary, NC offers many options, including dental guards that protect the teeth from abrasion and reduce muscle strain by allowing the jaw to move easily. Our comfortable, custom night guard appliances are worn while you sleep and can help reduce the damage to your teeth from grinding or clenching during sleep. Once you begin your bruxism treatment, you can look forward to waking up refreshed and pain-free.

If you are suffering from signs of bruxism, our dentists can help you with therapy or appliances that can alleviate pain and protect your teeth and jaw. It is important to call us as soon you notice symptoms so that we can minimize possible damage.
Do I need a bruxism appliance?
Many people suffer from bruxism when they are experiencing problems with anxiety, stress, tension, or depression. Physical problems caused by bruxism or teeth grinding include earaches, headaches, migraines, tinnitus, neck pain, jaw pain, and insomnia. Bruxism can also cause major dental damage, including worn or broken teeth, gum recession, or even loose teeth. A lot of our dental implant patients have a history of bruxism which is why, after years of no treatment, they need dental implants. If you are experiencing any of these problems, we can help you find the right solution for you. Schedule a consultation today to see how Dr. Bobbi Stanley can help you live pain-free.
