Meghan Markle’s smile is highly coveted. So let’s talk about stress😉 and modern strategies for keeping teeth perfect forever.

Problem

Stress induced clenching/ grinding is the leading risk factor for preservation of enamel, and porcelain restorations (such as veneers).

If not managed well, clenching/grinding can cause irreversible structural damage by shortening or cracking teeth, not to mention TMJ discomfort marked by pain in jaw, neck and shoulders.


Solution

Night guard, Botox therapy and/or enamel restoration with porcelain, depending on stage of intervention. This is one situation that early intervention is key to long term success as most of associated damage to teeth and bone is irreversible but restorable.
