Bruxism Control
Duration: 2 visits, night guard ready in approx. 1 week. Recovery: No downtime. Bruxism is clenching or grinding your teeth, often at night and without realising. Over time it wears the teeth down, breaks fillings and can cause jaw pain or headaches. We protect your teeth with a custom-made night guard (occlusal splint). First consultation free.
Who is this treatment for?
For you if you wake up with a tired jaw or a headache, your teeth are worn or have small fractures, or you have been told that you grind your teeth at night.

The Process
We guide you through every step of the way.
Diagnosis
We check the wear on your teeth, the muscles and the jaw joint.
Impression or scan
We take an impression or scan of your mouth to make the night guard.
Delivery and adjustment
We hand you the night guard, normally for the upper arch, and adjust the bite.
Follow-up
We check the night guard at your check-ups. If you clench hard, we consider a Michigan splint, which is more rigid.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have bruxism?
Typical signs: a tired jaw on waking, worn or sensitive teeth and a headache in the morning. At the check-up we can see it on your teeth.
Does the night guard cure bruxism?
It does not remove it, but it protects your teeth and restorations and spreads the force while you sleep.
How do I look after it?
Take it out to eat, clean it and keep it in its case so it does not break.
Is a pharmacy night guard enough?
A custom-made night guard fits your bite and is more comfortable and lasts longer. Generic ones do not always fit well.
How much does it cost?
Your first visit is free and includes a panoramic X-ray, a diagnosis and a no-obligation quote.
