How much does bruxism treatment cost?

A custom-made hard acrylic night guard typically costs $300–$800, while over-the-counter guards run $20–$50 but are less effective. Botox for jaw muscles costs $400–$1,200 every 3–4 months. Insurance covers night guards 50–80% when prescribed for bruxism.

How is bruxism diagnosed and treated?

Diagnosis is based on wear facets on teeth, jaw muscle tenderness, headaches, and partner reports of grinding sounds. A custom night guard is first-line treatment, worn nightly. Stress management, jaw exercises, and Botox can supplement; severe cases benefit from a sleep study to rule out apnea.

Is bruxism treatment painful or disruptive?

Treatment is non-invasive. Most patients adjust to wearing a night guard within 1–2 weeks. Jaw muscle soreness from grinding usually improves within 2–4 weeks of consistent guard use.

How long does a night guard last?

A hard acrylic custom night guard typically lasts 3–10 years depending on grinding intensity. Heavy grinders may chew through one in 12–18 months. Cleaning daily with mild soap and storing dry extends lifespan.

Can bruxism cause long-term damage if left untreated?

Yes — untreated grinding causes accelerated enamel wear, tooth fractures, sensitivity, TMJ disorders, and headaches. About 8–10% of adults grind regularly enough to need intervention. Early treatment with a night guard can prevent thousands of dollars in restorative work.
