Hypnotherapy for Teeth Grinding or ‘Bruxism’

Hypnotherapy could help you save your teeth, from night time grinding and wake up feeling relaxed and refreshed each morning.

Do you wake up with a stiff jaw or even a headache?

Has your dentist told you your teeth show signs of grinding at night?

Do you need a mouth guard to protect your teeth at night?

Is your sleep disturbed by your teeth grinding or bruxism?

Hypnotherapy can help you to stop this involuntary grinding.

What might be causing you to grind your teeth?

Many things may be causing you to suffer in this way. It could be due to stress or anxiety, certain medications, alcohol or caffeine. Hypnotherapy can help you stop doing it.

What is hypnotherapy and how can it help?

Hypnotherapy itself is a really relaxing process. During a session you will learn how to relax. Once in the relaxed state you can practice tensing your jaw, ready to start grinding. You then learn to recognise that feeling and immediately relax your jaw again. Practicing this many times, imprints this into your subconscious. Then when you are asleep and tense your jaw, you immediately relax it again. The grinding stops happening. 

Simply by being hypnotised you can reduce your stress and anxiety, which will reduce your urge to grind your teeth.

During a session, you are always in control.

What is the hypnotised state?

The hypnotised state is a state you were in as you woke up this morning and will be in as you drift off to sleep again tonight. Its the bit between being fully conscious and being asleep.

In this lovely relaxed state, we can practice making you tense your jaw, and relax it. We repeat this many times.

Practicing while hypnotised helps to implant the technique firmly in your unconscious, so it is ready to use when you need to.

Could Hypnotherapy for Bruxism, or teeth grinding really work?

Yes. I had a client who had a stressful job and was grinding her teeth so badly she was destroying her mouth guard. 

We discussed how I would go about helping her and she agreed. I put her into a lovely relaxed state and we practiced tensing and relaxing her jaw. She called me about a week later and told me how much better she was feeling when she woke up. She also said her mouth guard was no longer being damaged each night. This was after just one session.

Should I still see my dentist?

Yes, I would still include a discussion with your dentist in your plan to help with your teeth grinding. What they will offer will protect your teeth from the grinding. What hypnotherapy may offer is stopping the grinding and therefore protecting your teeth.
