Night guards and bruxism
Hard acrylic, scanned to fit · reviewed annually for wear
Grinding and clenching wear enamel, crack fillings and fracture ceramic. A hard acrylic splint scanned to your bite protects the teeth and distributes load; it does not stop the grinding, which is usually driven by sleep and stress. We assess muscle tenderness, wear facets and joint sounds first, and we screen for signs of sleep-disordered breathing, because that changes the referral rather than the appliance.
