Bruxism and TMJ Disorders: Aesthetic and Functional Solutions

Bruxism, or involuntary teeth grinding and clenching, is a common yet often misunderstood condition that can silently damage your teeth, overwork your jaw muscles, and impact the aesthetics of your smile. When left untreated, it can cause tooth wear, jaw discomfort, headaches, and even temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.

At LHC Clinic Istanbul, we specialize in providing cosmetic and protective solutions tailored for patients dealing with bruxism and TMJ-related issues. While bruxism's underlying causes are complex, we focus on restoring damaged smiles, protecting teeth, and minimizing muscle overactivity through zirconium crowns, masseter Botox, and customized night guards.

Understanding the Damage Bruxism Can Cause

• Impact on Teeth: Worn, flattened, or chipped teeth; enamel loss; fractures; and bite misalignment.
• Strain on Jaw Muscles and TMJ: Overworked muscles, facial tension, and inflamed or restricted TMJ function.

Why This Combined Approach Works
