Occlusal Splints
Occlusal splints are custom-made dental devices worn over the teeth to help manage issues like teeth grinding (bruxism), jaw pain (TMJ disorders), or bite problems. They are made from durable materials and fit snugly to the upper or lower teeth, providing a protective barrier that prevents teeth from grinding against each other. Beyond protecting teeth, they can help relax jaw muscles and improve jaw alignment. Typically worn during sleep or as advised by a dental professional, occlusal splints are a non-invasive treatment option to reduce discomfort and prevent dental damage caused by grinding or clenching.
