Bruxism is an involuntary oral habit that manifests in most individuals at some point in their lives, typically characterized by grinding teeth or clenching of the jaw. These actions deviate from the intended use of these body parts, leading to additional strain. Often occurring during sleep, individuals are usually unaware of these activities.

As one of the prevalent sleep disorders, bruxism affects a significant number of people. Chewing, a subconscious muscular activity, continues during sleep when conscious thought is dormant, contributing to bruxism. Common symptoms encompass earaches, headaches, anxiety, eating disorders, chronic stress, and even depression.

To diagnose bruxism at home, we utilize a device known as BiteStrip®, which can detect and monitor even subtle jaw muscle activity during sleep. This valuable information enables us to comprehensively assess the issue, facilitating the development of a tailored treatment plan to address and alleviate bruxism.
