Occlusal Guard Appliance

Many people suffer from clenching and grinding their teeth which can result in excessive tooth wear and TMJ problems. An Occlusal Guard Appliance, or Occlusal Splint is a safe and effective way to alleviate these problems.

The word “Occlusal“ refers to the Chewing and Clenching movements of your mouth. Your back teeth have ridges that hold your jaw in place while you make these movements. When your ridges don’t align, problems such as TMJ (Locked Jaw) or excessive tooth wear can occur. If you are experiencing anything similar to this, contact us today and we will help you find out if an Occlusal Guard Appliance will help you out!
