Teeth grinding is a manifestation of sleep disorder. It is related to mild awakening during sleep and abnormalities in the central nervous system's information transmission media such as dopamine and norepinephrine. It is also related to the patient's psychological characteristics and tolerance. Many patients have tendencies to explore, fatigue easily, and become isolated.

1) Psychological treatment: There are indeed psychological factors that cause excessive tension in the jaw muscles. Eliminate tension, relieve unnecessary worries, and arrange work reasonably. If necessary, take diazepam tablets orally, 1-2 times a day, one tablet each time. There is dependency.

2) Treatment to reduce brain excitement: Resting and relaxing before going to bed, doing proper gymnastics, avoiding stimulating foods and smoking, and improving the sleeping environment are all helpful in reducing the brain's excitement. Mobilize the patient's self-awareness and self-control psychological effect to reduce the occurrence of bruxism. The effect is very small.

3) Muscle relaxation therapy: Excessive tension in the jaw muscles is one of the causes of bruxism. Relieving excessive muscle tension during treatment is a necessary means to control bruxism. Commonly used methods include: the use of muscle relaxants; physical therapy, training of the physiological functions of the masticatory muscles; massage; audio-visual cues and other methods. The effect is very small.

4) Treatment with awakening stimulation during sleep: Through biofeedback, the patient is awakened by electrical signals such as sound when bruxism occurs, thereby temporarily stopping bruxism. Some researchers have performed temporary afferent electrical stimulation on the lips, and the results showed that it was effective in controlling bruxism. However, this method interferes with the sleep of patients and their cohabitants and is not effective in the long term.

5 ) Occlusal adjustment treatment: By grinding a small amount of tooth tissue, removing occlusal interference and premature occlusal contact, and establishing an occlusal balance relationship, a physiological balance between the jaw, masticatory muscles, and temporomandibular joint can be achieved, and bruxism can be eliminated. For patients with malocclusion, orthodontics or restoration are performed first. Then take Muyating capsules to regulate the nerves and eliminate bruxism.

6) Intestinal anthelmintic treatment: Ascaricidal treatment reduces the peristalsis of intestinal parasites and stimulates the intestinal wall. Bruxism caused by roundworms may occur in children for hygiene reasons, but the chance of bruxism caused by roundworms in adolescents and adults is almost non-existent. Therefore, deworming treatments are not effective for adolescents and adults.

The article introduces us to several methods of treating nocturnal bruxism. I hope you can treat it according to the cause of the disease in your life. This will help us treat the condition of bruxism in time in our lives. In our lives, we can appropriately adjust our psychological factors and kill the parasites in our stomachs to eliminate teeth grinding.
