Clenching Treatment

Clenching is a common condition that affects many people. It involves the clenching and grinding of teeth, often unconsciously, which can lead to a range of dental problems and even jaw pain.

What are the treatment procedures?

Clenching treatment involves various methods to help reduce or eliminate the habit of clenching and grinding teeth. These methods may include the use of a custom mouthguard or splint to protect the teeth and reduce tension, stress management techniques to reduce anxiety and stress levels, and physical therapy to relax the muscles of the jaw.

What are the benefits?
