Night Guards, also known as an occlusal splints are removable appliances which are custom made to fit your mouth. Night guards fit over the upper teeth and are designed to protect your natural teeth, crowns and implants from wear or cracking due to clenching or grinding habits (bruxism) while providing relief from muscle tension and painful symptoms in your joint (temporomandibular joint).
Dental Night Guard
Night guards and mouthguards are both types of dental appliances that are designed to protect teeth, but they serve different purposes and are used in different situations. A night guard is a dental appliance that is used to protect teeth and jaws from the effects of teeth grinding and clenching while sleeping, a condition known as bruxism. Night guards are usually made of a soft or hard plastic material and are worn over the teeth at night to prevent damage to teeth, jaw pain, headaches, and other related problems caused by bruxism.
On the other hand, a mouthguard is a dental appliance that is designed to protect teeth from injury during sports or physical activities. Mouthguards are usually made of a soft, flexible material and are worn over the teeth during sports or other physical activities to protect them from impact or trauma.
Dental splints can be used for a variety of purposes, including grinding, snoring, and trauma. However, the type of splint used will depend on the specific condition being treated. For example, a splint used to treat teeth grinding (bruxism) is called a night guard or occlusal splint. It is designed to protect your teeth from the harmful effects of grinding or clenching while you sleep.
A splint used to treat snoring and sleep apnea is called a mandibular advancement device (MAD). It works by repositioning your lower jaw slightly forward, which opens up your airway and reduces snoring.
A splint used to treat trauma is called a mouthguard or sports guard. It is designed to protect your teeth and mouth from injury during sports or other physical activities.
While the same splint may not be used for all these conditions, some splints can be used for multiple purposes, it’s important to consult with your dentist to ensure that the same splint is suitable for both conditions.
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s a good idea to speak with a dentist near you . They can examine your teeth and determine whether a night guard is appropriate for you.
