Occlusal Splint for Tooth Grinding
Protect Your Teeth and Relieve Jaw Pain with a Custom Occlusal Splint
Occlusal Splint for Tooth Grinding
If you suffer from tooth grinding (bruxism) or jaw clenching, it can cause tooth wear, jaw pain, headaches, and disrupted sleep. At Lithgow Dental and Implant Centre, we offer custom-made occlusal splints—also known as night guards—to protect your teeth and ease discomfort.
What Is an Occlusal Splint?
An occlusal splint is a removable, comfortable dental appliance worn over your teeth, usually at night. It acts as a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, preventing damage from grinding and clenching while helping to relax your jaw muscles.
