Protect your teeth, day and night
Teeth are exposed to many types of damage on a daily basis, sometimes without us even realizing it. Whether it's due to nighttime grinding or sports activities, it's important to protect your teeth with a custom-made device that fits your mouth.
At Dentown Dental Center, we design occlusal splints for bruxism as well as mouth guards for athletes to prevent fractures, premature wear, and joint pain.
Bruxism and Mouth Guards
Occlusal splint for bruxism
An effective way to protect your teeth at night
Bruxism is characterized by involuntary clenching or grinding of the teeth, usually during sleep. This common disorder may go unnoticed, but over time it can lead to significant tooth wear, jaw pain, headaches, and even temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
To limit the consequences of bruxism, we recommend wearing an occlusal splint. Custom-made, it fits comfortably over the upper or lower teeth, as needed.
Advantages of the occlusal splint:
- Protects teeth from wear and microfractures;
- Relaxes the jaw muscles and reduces pain;
- Stabilizes occlusion (contact between teeth);
- Improves sleep quality in many patients.
Each device is designed in a dental laboratory after taking a precise impression of your teeth. Unlike models sold in pharmacies, custom-made splints are much more stable, comfortable, and effective.
If you wake up with a tense or painful jaw, notice wear on certain teeth, or your partner hears your teeth grinding at night, don't hesitate to mention it at your next appointment.
Mouthguards for sports
Prevent injuries during physical activity
Playing sports is excellent for your health... but it can also expose your teeth to the risk of impact, fractures, or jaw injuries. Wearing a mouthguard is strongly recommended in many sports, such as hockey, football, rugby, boxing, and martial arts.
We make custom-made mouthguards that fit the shape of your teeth perfectly, ensuring optimal protection and better stability during play.
Why choose a mouthguard made by a dentist?
- Better impact absorption thanks to a precise fit;
- Superior comfort, the device stays in place without interfering with breathing or speech;
- Adapted to each patient's teeth and age (children, teenagers, adults).
Mouthguards sold in stores (boil-and-bite type) are often poorly fitted and ineffective. For adequate protection, a custom-made model from your dentist is still the best option.
