Teeth Grinding & TMJ treatment

Bruxism, TMJ, and Sleep Apnoea

Teeth grinding, jaw pain, and sleep issues are often interconnected. Involuntary grinding or clenching—known as bruxism—can occur during sleep or while awake and may be linked to stress, anxiety, or misaligned teeth. If left untreated, bruxism can wear down or crack teeth and place strain on the jaw joints (TMJ). It may also increase the risk of obstructive sleep apnoea.

If you’re experiencing teeth grinding, jaw discomfort, or sleep concerns, speak with our team at Grandis Dental.

Call us on (08) 6404 2899 or Book Online.

Signs of Bruxism


Many people aren’t aware they grind their teeth—especially at night—until someone else notices. However, common signs include:

  • Flattened, worn, or chipped teeth
  • Tooth sensitivity or pain
  • Jaw pain or stiffness
  • Headaches, earaches, or facial pain

What is TMJ Disorder?

The temporomandibular joints (TMJ) are the two joints on either side of the jaw that enable movement. TMJ disorders (TMJD) can be caused by:

  • Teeth grinding or clenching, which strains the joints
  • Misaligned teeth or bite
  • Jaw or mouth injuries
  • Arthritis and other joint conditions

Signs of TMJ Disorder


You may have TMJ disorder if you experience any of the following:

  • Clicking or popping sounds when opening your mouth associated with pain
  • Difficulty opening your mouth or jaw locking
  • Pain in the jaw, ears, head, or face
  • Stiffness in the shoulders
  • Hearing loss or dizziness

If you’re concerned about TMJD or another jaw issue, schedule an appointment with one of our dentists today.

Custom Night guards (bite splints) for Bruxism & TMJD

If diagnosed with bruxism or TMJD, our dentists will recommend treatment options, such as:

  • Custom night guards (bite splints) for night time use
  • Stress management
  • Jaw exercises
  • Teeth straightening or crowns
  • Muscle relaxants or surgery (in severe cases)

Night guards prevent teeth contact while you sleep, easing symptoms and stabilising your jaw over time.

Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA)

Do you snore loudly or wake up gasping for air? You might have obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), a disorder affecting 1 in 10 Australians. It occurs when the airway is blocked, disrupting breathing during sleep.

Frequent interruptions can lead to poor sleep, causing tiredness, headaches, and long-term health complications if untreated.

Struggling with sleep? Contact our team today.

Signs of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea

You may have OSA if you experience:

  • Loud snoring or noisy breathing during sleep
  • Waking up suddenly during the night
  • Morning headaches
  • Daytime fatigue or irritability
  • Difficulty with memory or concentration
  •  

If you suspect OSA or another sleep disorder, our dentists at Grandis Dental can help. Call (08) 6404 2899 to learn more.

Custom Night Guards for OSA

If we suspect obstructive sleep apnoea, we may refer you to a sleep specialist for diagnosis and treatment recommendations, which may include:

  • Custom night guards
  • Changes in sleeping habits
  • CPAP therapy
  • Surgery (in severe cases)

Oral appliances for mild to moderate OSA help keep the airway open, improving sleep quality.
