PRESERVE YOUR TEETH WITH AN OCCLUSAL SPLINT
The occlusal splint, also known as a “night guard,” is a transparent dental appliance that covers the teeth. This device helps protect your teeth while you sleep. The splint is custom-made to perfectly fit your dentition.
The orthosis protects your teeth from wear caused by teeth grinding and also helps relax the joints and muscles of your jaw. Coteau Santé Dental Clinic has expertise in preventing tooth wear. Get in touch with us to schedule an appointment.
BRUXISM
People suffering from abnormal tooth wear, often resulting from bruxism, which is an unconscious habit of grinding or clenching the teeth, may consider using an occlusal splint, worn during the night. It reduces muscle tension and protects your teeth. Missing teeth, stress, and occlusal abnormalities can also be causes of bruxism. Discuss it with the dentist.
