What if teeth grinding is affecting far more than the condition of your teeth? Many people think of grinding and clenching as minor nighttime habits, but they can contribute to jaw discomfort, headaches, damaged teeth, and problems with sleep. So how can patients recognize the signs and understand the treatment options available to them? Dr. Andrews explains how masseter Botox can be used to relax muscles involved in grinding and clenching, while also discussing orthodontics, airway health, and cosmetic dentistry. She shares how patients often come in focused on one concern, only to discover that their bite, crowded teeth, or overactive jaw muscles may be connected to other problems. She also explains why natural looking veneers require careful attention to color, shape, and the small details that make dental work blend into a patient's smile.
