Bruxism Treatment in Mumbai
Bruxism — involuntary teeth grinding or clenching — affects 8 to 31 percent of the general population and silently destroys teeth, restorations and sleep. Dr. Bipin R. Upadhyay's PhD work specifically addresses comparative TMJ movement analysis in bruxism. Evidence-based, conservative-first management.

Our approach
Diagnose, then treat
Sleep bruxism, awake bruxism and combined patterns each need different strategies. We characterise the pattern before prescribing anything.
Wear analysis
Tooth wear charting, occlusal photography and study casts establish a baseline so future progression is measurable, not guessed.
Treatment
Custom occlusal splint (night guard)
Lab-fabricated, properly equilibrated splint — not a sports mouthguard. Protects teeth, decompresses joint, breaks the muscle cycle.
Behavioural & stress strategies
Sleep hygiene, daytime awareness, biofeedback referral and stress management — bruxism is rarely just a dental problem.
Restorative rehabilitation
Only after the destructive force is controlled. Restorations placed into untreated bruxism fail — fast.
Frequently asked
Will a night guard cure my bruxism?
No appliance cures bruxism, but a properly designed splint protects teeth and reduces muscle activity while we address the underlying contributors.
Can stress alone cause bruxism?
Stress is a major contributor for many patients, but airway, occlusion, medications and sleep architecture all play a role.
