Do you wake up with a sore jaw, pounding headaches, or teeth that feel oddly sensitive? You might not realise it, but your teeth could be working overtime—grinding and clenching, even in your sleep. After not too long, this hidden teeth grinding habit can wear down your chompers, trigger jaw pain, and leave you feeling drained before your day even begins.

It sounds bad, but we have good news. You don’t have to live with this discomfort. At Simply Teeth, we love to help patients just like you find lasting relief with expert, personalised solutions. Whether it’s protecting your smile, easing your pain, or improving your sleep, we’re here to help you take back control—starting today.

Teeth grinding (aka bruxism)

Bruxism isn’t a harmless habit—it’s a condition that puts excessive strain on your teeth and jaw, often without you realising it. Whether it happens during the day (awake bruxism) or at night while you sleep (sleep bruxism), the constant grinding and clenching can wear down your teeth, cause persistent jaw pain, trigger headaches, and even disrupt your sleep quality. Left untreated, bruxism can lead to serious dental damage and long-term discomfort, affecting both your smile and overall well-being.

Stress and anxiety: Psychological stress often manifests physically through teeth clenching and grinding, especially during sleep.

Sleep disorders: Sleep apnoea and other sleep-related conditions frequently coincide with bruxism, requiring comprehensive treatment approaches.

Dental misalignment: Improper bite alignment can lead to unconscious grinding as your jaw seeks a comfortable position.

Lifestyle factors: Excessive consumption of caffeine, alcohol, or tobacco can intensify grinding habits.

Custom night guards

Our professionally crafted night guards provide superior protection compared to over-the-counter alternatives. Using precise digital impressions of your teeth, we create a custom-fitted guard that perfectly matches your dental anatomy. This personalised approach ensures maximum comfort and effectiveness, allowing you to sleep without damaging your teeth. Our night guards are crafted from durable, medical-grade materials that withstand intense grinding while remaining comfortable enough to wear consistently. Regular use of a custom night guard not only protects your teeth but also helps retrain your jaw muscles to relax during sleep.

Comprehensive dental corrections

When bruxism stems from dental misalignment, we address the root cause through targeted dental corrections. Our approach begins with a thorough bite analysis using advanced imaging technology to identify specific areas of concern. Based on these findings, we may recommend orthodontic treatment to realign your bite, custom crown work to repair damaged teeth, or selective reshaping of tooth surfaces to achieve optimal dental harmony. This comprehensive approach not only treats existing damage but helps prevent future grinding by creating a more balanced bite relationship.
