While some individuals experience occasional grinding, others may suffer from chronic bruxism, which is frequently linked to stress and anxiety.<\/p><p>At <strong>Luminor Dental<\/strong>, we conduct a <strong>thorough assessment<\/strong> to evaluate the severity of your grinding, identify any damage to your teeth, and examine the function of your <strong>jaw muscles and jaw joints (TMJ)<\/strong>.

This splint serves as a protective barrier between the upper and lower teeth, reducing the pressure on the jaw and preventing further wear and fractures. It also helps relax the jaw muscles, alleviating pain and discomfort caused by excessive grinding.<\/p><p>In addition to occlusal splints, we may suggest <strong>stress management techniques, lifestyle modifications, and relaxation exercises<\/strong> to help reduce the triggers of grinding. In severe cases, alternative treatments such as bite adjustments or Botox therapy may be considered to relieve jaw tension. Our team is dedicated to finding the best solution for your individual needs, ensuring long-term relief and protection for your teeth and jaw.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-5f63f145 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5f63f145\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-45a10755\" data-id=\"45a10755\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7f69602f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7f69602f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/luminordental.al\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/jaw-3.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-13544\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/luminordental.al\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/jaw-3.png 1000w, https:\/\/luminordental.al\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/jaw-3-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/luminordental.al\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/jaw-3-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/luminordental.al\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/jaw-3-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/luminordental.al\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/jaw-3-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/luminordental.al\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/jaw-3-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-189eaf42\" data-id=\"189eaf42\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19f0466a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"19f0466a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/luminordental.al\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/jaw-2.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-13543\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/luminordental.al\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/jaw-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/luminordental.al\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/jaw-2-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/luminordental.al\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/jaw-2-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/luminordental.al\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/jaw-2-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/luminordental.al\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/jaw-2-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/luminordental.al\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/jaw-2-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JAW PROBLEMS &amp; GRINDING Teeth grinding (bruxism) is a common condition that can occur both during sleep and as a habitual daytime behavior.
