Jaw Splints
Occlusal Splint
When teeth are ground from side to side, particularly during sleep, this can wear down the front teeth and the molar cusps can be chipped and damaged.
Clenching also tenses the jaw muscles and creates impact within the skull. This may cause pain and headaches. An Occlusal Splint can be used to protect the teeth and prevent contact.
How it works
Grinding the teeth can cause wear. The canines and the front incisors can wear first. The enamel can be lost exposing the soft dentine underneath.
Many people grind and clench their teeth while asleep. This not only causes damage to the teeth but also results in lasting pain, sometimes in the form of headaches, sinus pain, jaw ache or neck and back pain.
The grinding motion leads to abfraction, chipped teeth and lost canine height and guidance, as well as damage to the tongue which may be chewed during the night. Teeth can also fracture as a result of grinding, which then requires expensive treatment.
If you are suffering from jaw pain you have come to the right place. We offer a free consultation for jaw pain.
