Protect Your Teeth From Bruxism Damage With Our Occlusal Splints
What is Bruxism and How Does it Damage Teeth?
Teeth grinding can cause a range of dental problems, including tooth sensitivity, cracking or fracturing of teeth, wear of teeth, migraines and jaw pain.
It is important to get treatment for bruxism to avoid these problems and other health problems associated with it. Treatment options can include occlusal splint therapy, muscle-relaxant injections, while stress management techniques and relaxation therapies may be advised in certain cases.
Skilled diagnosis and treatment of teeth grinding
Once diagnosed, there are various treatments available to help manage bruxism. One of the most effective methods is using a custom-made oral appliance called an occlusal splint, which helps protect the teeth and prevent grinding or clenching. This is made of hard acrylic or a soft material moulded on an impression taken of your teeth.
It can fit over the upper or lower teeth and keeps the dental surfaces away from each other, preventing wear and tear of the dental enamel and helping protect teeth from the effects of teeth grinding.
