Dental Grinding (Bruxism) / Sleep Apnea Treatment

What Is Bruxism and Why Treat It?

Bruxism is the involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth, usually during sleep. Left untreated, it can lead to:

  1. Worn-down or fractured teeth
  2. Jaw pain and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues
  3. Chronic headaches or facial tension
  4. Gum recession and loose teeth
  5. Sleep disturbances

Nightguards, also called occlusal splints, are custom-made devices that cushion the teeth and jaw to prevent damage.


Why Is Bruxism Treatment More Affordable in Korea?

  1. Dental clinics use digital scanners and 3D printing for faster, more cost-effective nightguard fabrication.
  2. Many clinics offer bundled pricing that includes consultation, imaging, and delivery.
  3. Clinics operate with lower overhead costs and pass savings onto patients.
  4. Korean dentists are well-trained in TMJ and occlusal therapy, ensuring accurate diagnosis and treatment.
  5. Clinics typically use high-quality materials without charging the premium fees seen in Western markets.
