Hypnotherapy To Stop Bruxism

Bruxism is a common sleep disorder where sufferers grind their teeth, mainly during sleep although some experience unconscious grinding during the day too. Many sufferers have successfully used hypnotherapy to ease the problem.

If you suffer from bruxism, you may be completely unaware of it. Symptoms can include headaches, neck or shoulder pains and your teeth can weaken and fracture, which is expensive to treat. Sometimes mouth guards can be worn, however, although this can stop the teeth from grinding together, it will not stop the tension or resulting aches in the facial muscles, shoulders and neck.

Hypnosis can be used to help stop teeth grinding. A qualified hypnotherapist can set triggers in the unconscious mind to relax the jaw whenever teeth grinding starts. Hypnotherapy can be one of the quickest remedies available, with some people noticing immediate relief whilst others may take several days.
