How to treat teeth grinding? Old Chinese medicine recommends methods to treat teeth grinding

Some people often make a clicking sound when they sleep at night, but when they are asked in the morning, they don't know it. This is a symptom of bruxism. Teeth grinding is a disease that troubles many people. It gradually gets worse over time and forms a long-term vicious cycle disease. So how can teeth grinding be treated?

1: Reduce brain excitement. Resting and relaxing before going to bed, doing proper gymnastics, avoiding stimulating foods and smoking, and improving the sleeping environment are all helpful in reducing the brain's excitement. Mobilize the patient's self-awareness and self-control psychological effect to reduce the occurrence of bruxism. The effect is very small.

2: Muscle relaxation therapy Excessive tension in the jaw muscles is one of the causes of bruxism. Relieving excessive muscle tension during treatment is a necessary means to control bruxism. Commonly used methods include: the use of muscle relaxants; physical therapy, training of the physiological functions of the masticatory muscles; massage; audio-visual cues and other methods. The effect is very small.

3: The treatment of awakening stimulation during sleep uses biofeedback to wake the patient up with electrical signals such as sound when bruxism occurs, thereby temporarily stopping bruxism. Some researchers have performed temporary afferent electrical stimulation on the lips, and the results showed that it was effective in controlling bruxism. However, this method interferes with the sleep of patients and their cohabitants and is not effective in the long term.

4: Occlusal adjustment treatment is to adjust and grind a small amount of tooth tissue, remove occlusal interference and premature occlusal contact, establish an occlusal balance relationship, so as to achieve a physiological balance between the teeth, jaws, masticatory muscles, and temporomandibular joints, and eliminate bruxism. For patients with malocclusion, orthodontics or restoration are performed first. Then take Muyating capsules to regulate the nerves and eliminate bruxism.

1: Eat a piece of raw orange peel or soak orange peel in water before going to bed every night for 2-3 days. It can cure children and adults who grind their teeth while sleeping. It is especially effective for early teeth grinding when it just occurs.

Some children have been grinding their teeth for a long time. Although they have received corresponding treatment, the cerebral cortex has formed a strong conditioned reflex. Therefore, the nighttime grinding action will not disappear immediately, which can easily form a habitual teeth grinding.
