Diagnosis

As bruxism initially causes minor symptoms, people with sleep bruxism usually aren’t aware of their habit or ignore it, until serious complications occur. Therefore, it is important to visit your doctor or dentist if you notice unusual wear of your teeth or pain in your jaw, face or ear or any other bruxism symptom.

At Vancouver Sleep Solutions, we use a device called the MediByte which enables at-home overnight testing for sleep bruxism and helps diagnose bruxism before damage appears on the teeth. The device senses jaw muscle activity while you sleep. We can then establish the frequency of bruxing, which helps in choosing a treatment plan.

Feel free to contact us if you have any questions about Bruxism testing or if you wish to make an appointment.
