Night guards for bruxism

A night guard relieves the tension produced by the forces of the bite when clenching or grinding the teeth (bruxism). It eases tension in the jaw and reduces pain in the jaw joint, but also headaches and neck pain.

What does it involve?

Bruxism is the habit, usually at night and unconscious, of clenching or grinding the teeth. It causes tooth wear, fractures, pain in the jaw joint, headaches and neck tension.

A night guard (occlusal splint) is a rigid, transparent device, custom-made from an impression of your mouth, that is worn over the teeth while sleeping. It spreads the forces, relaxes the muscles and protects the enamel.
