Bruxism
- It is a completely unconscious activity that damages the structures of the tooth, the periodontium, the muscles, as well as the articulation of both the jaw and the maxilla and that normally occurs during sleep. It can be caused by stress or back injuries.
At CIME Clinics we can treat this pathology by relaxing the maxillofacial muscles.
In this way, it is not only possible to solve the oral damage that bruxism may be causing, but also the excessive ‘shape’ of the muscles of the face, which is achieved, in some cases, to soften the features.
