Occlusal Splints are used to effectively treat Bruxism (teeth grinding and jaw clenching) and a range of Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) and Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders.
Occlusal Splints/Night Guards are custom-molded appliances (hard plastic) that fit over the upper teeth. They are designed to protect our natural teeth, crowns, and implants (and supporting structures) from wear and cracking from clenching and grinding habits. They also serve to relieve muscle tension and painful joint symptoms.
The benefits of Occlusal Splints include:
- Relaxing of the facial muscles and jaw
- Adjusting a poorly aligned bite
- Protecting teeth from coming into contact with each other
- Repositioning the jaw
