Mouthguards/Splints

Service Description

Mouthguards and dental splints are specialized devices designed to protect oral health and address various dental conditions. While they share similarities in appearance and function, they cater to different needs and have unique features. This guide aims to explore the uses, benefits, types, and considerations surrounding mouthguards and dental splints. Mouthguards are protective devices worn over the teeth to shield them from injury or damage during physical activities or while sleeping. Mouthguards are widely used by athletes and individuals who grind their teeth (bruxism). Mouthguards serve various purposes, including mainly Sports Protection and Bruxism Prevention (for those who grind or clench their teeth during sleep, mouthguards act as a barrier, reducing the risk of tooth wear, fractures, and jaw pain). Dental splints are commonly employed in the treatment of Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMD), stabilization of teeth, bruxism management.
