is a condition in which you grind, gnash or clench your teeth. If you have bruxism, you may unconsciously clench your teeth when you're awake (awake bruxism) or clench or grind them during sleep (sleep bruxism).
​
Sleep bruxism is considered a sleep-related movement disorder. People who clench or grind their teeth (brux) during sleep are more likely to have other sleep disorders, such as snoring and pauses in breathing (sleep apnea).
​
Mild bruxism may not require treatment. However, in some people, bruxism can be frequent and severe enough to lead to jaw disorders, headaches, damaged teeth and other problems.
​
Because you may have sleep bruxism and be unaware of it until complications develop, it's important to know the signs and symptoms of bruxism and to seek regular dental care.
BRUXISM
The Smart Mouth Guard mobile software processes data collected by the splint providing the dentist with unique insights on the course of the disorder.
IMPROVE BRUXISM TREATMENT WITH THE SMG APP
The core idea of teeth grinding treatment with Smart Mouth Guard is that bruxism episodes may be broken down into measurable parameters. The Smart Mouth Guard mobile software processes data collected by the splint providing the dentist with unique insights on the course of disorder. After the patient registers in the app and connects it to the smart dental splint, the following beneficial features become available:
​
-
Insights on the following parameters of the teeth grinding assaults:
-
Timing;
-
Frequency;
-
Episode length;
-
Allocation of pressure between the teeth;
-
Pressure value;
-
-
Comparison of the information on bruxism episodes within any specified time period. The software allows to sort out the parameters with the help of filters. For instance, the dentist may want to see the chart reflecting the dynamic of teeth pressure value within a week;
-
Notifications on day-time bruxism preventing unconscious teeth grinding and helping the patient change their behavioral patterns;
-
Overnight teeth grinding reports;
-
Transfer of relevant data directly to the dentist. The frequency of data transfers may be adjusted by the patient or his dentist (e.g. daily / weekly / on the dentist’s demand). Data transfers may be executed manually as well;
-
«Diary»: the patient will be able to leave notes on their day-to-day activities in order to help their care provider to find correlations between certain types of activities and teeth grinding. The application will automatically notify the dentist on possible detected correlations (e.g. alcohol consumption, smoking, lack of sleep, etc.);
