The Treatment
There are different ways that your dentist can recommend following which you would be able to get rid of bruxism. One such way that can be recommended is the night guard. This is a small appliance that is worn as a guard before you go to sleep at night. Using this appliance is quite easy. All you would need to do is boil the appliance and then cool it for a few seconds. Once that is done, you can gently bite into it so that it would take up the shape of your teeth.
