Causes structural or mechanical

A tooth in overbite (slightly too high) is responsible for an occlusal overload which causes the compression of the long ligament (fibro-elastic zone that connects the tooth to the bones and absorbs the stresses of mastication). Eventually, the stasis pressure generates energy which can result in the appearance of an abscess of the root (granuloma) on a devitalized tooth.

A dental bite imbalance must be considered a major bottleneck effects which affect the entire posture, through the temporomandibular joint is an important energy hub, with multiple consequences (osteoarticular, back pain, compression of organs, depressive syndrome).

A bridge blocks the micro-movement of natural teeth in their sockets. It generates a dominant transverse compression which sometimes double vertical overload if the bridge is in overbite. Placed on areas of junction of these bones (palatine suture), the bridge leads to a blockage of the cranial bones. An orthodontic arch has the same effect generalized to all teeth of the maxilla.

Stop the gnashing of teeth!

Bruxism defines any grinding or clenching “empty”, i.e. outside the phases of chewing and swallowing. The consequences are minor when the phenomenon is casual. But if it persists, the damage may be irreversible?

Worn teeth sensitive? Muscle pain and spasms of the jaw upon awakening? You may be suffering from bruxism. Characterized by an inadvertent grinding of teeth, day or night, this condition often linked to stress affect about 6% of French.

The gnashing of teeth

Bruxism involves both children and adults. It can occur day or night. When it is daytime, the person is aware of the pressure it exerts on its teeth. The will only need to relax the jaw. But in 80% cases, bruxism is nocturnal and it is more problematic. Indeed, the “bruxism” is not aware of clenching his jaw. During the night, “a person with bruxism may rub her teeth for 6 to 8 minutes straight!” Says Professor Francois Anger of the French Dental Association (ADF). There are two types of bruxism. When the person puts pressure without friction, bruxism is called “centered”. If the pressures are accompanied by jaw gnashing of teeth, it is called bruxism “eccentric”. (more…)
