Bite guard for bruxism

Grinding and clenching your teeth at night, also known as bruxism, wears down enamel, overloads the temporomandibular joints and can be a cause of morning headaches. A custom-made bite guard effectively protects your teeth and allows your muscles to relax.

Typical signs include worn down, chipped tooth edges, sensitivity, morning tension and jaw pain, headaches around the temples, clicking in the joints, and teeth marks on the tongue and cheeks.

Splint treatment effects and follow-up care

The splint separates the teeth, stops the habit of clenching them, protects the enamel and prosthetic restorations, and relieves pressure on the temporomandibular joints. Many patients notice the resolution of morning tension and headaches after just a few weeks. The condition of the splint and bite is monitored during check-ups; in more complex cases, the treatment of bruxism is supplemented by collaboration with a physiotherapist.
