Effective teeth grinding treatment
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.
Signs you grind your teeth
Prevent serious dental damage by keeping up your regular dental visits and checking for these common symptoms today:
- Visible wear on teeth, including flattening, chips, or fractures
- Morning headaches and facial pain
- Sensitive teeth and recurring tooth pain
- Tight or sore jaw muscles
- Sleep disruption and fatigue
- TMJ (temporomandibular joint) pain or clicking
- Unexplained earaches or neck tension
What causes teeth grinding?
Effective treatment requires a clear understanding of the root cause behind your bruxism. Common triggers include:
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.

Teeth grinding treatment options
At Simply Teeth, we appreciate that nobody else is quite like you. Every patient’s teeth grinding condition is unique, so our tailored treatment approaches comprehensively address both the symptoms and underlying causes of your specific bruxism.
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.
Sleep disorder assessment and treatment
Given the strong connection between sleep disorders and bruxism, we offer specialised sleep assessment services. Our team works closely with sleep specialists to identify and treat underlying conditions like sleep apnoea that may be contributing to your teeth grinding. This collaborative approach ensures you receive comprehensive care that addresses both your dental and sleep health needs. When necessary, we can coordinate with sleep specialists to develop an integrated treatment plan that may include both dental appliances and sleep therapy solutions.

Stress management and lifestyle support
Understanding that stress is a significant contributor to bruxism, we provide comprehensive guidance on stress management techniques specifically targeted at reducing teeth grinding. Our approach includes teaching proven relaxation methods for the jaw muscles, stress-reduction strategies, and lifestyle modifications that can significantly impact grinding habits. We work with you to identify specific triggers and develop personalised coping strategies that complement your dental treatment plan.
