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.
