Grinding Splint & Night Guards

Managing Tooth Wear and Jaw Strain

Teeth grinding and clenching (often known as bruxism) can place significant stress on your teeth and jaw over time. This may lead to tooth wear, sensitivity, fractures, and discomfort around the jaw joints (TMJ). Tooth wear and jaw concerns can arise from a variety of factors, including grinding, stress, and bite-related issues. For this reason, every case is approached individually.

At Pewsey Dental Practice, we provide carefully designed splints to help protect your teeth, reduce strain, and support long-term oral health. Our approach focuses on identifying the underlying causes and creating a bespoke treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.

Tailored Protection for Your Needs

We offer a range of custom-made appliances designed for comfort, durability, and effectiveness:

• Dual laminate splints – combining a soft inner layer for comfort with a durable outer layer for protection
• Sleep clench inhibitors ( SCi ) – designed to reduce the effects of clenching during sleep

Each appliance is designed to fit precisely, helping to minimise wear and protect your teeth effectively.

Supporting Jaw Comfort and TMJ Health

Grinding and clenching can contribute to jaw discomfort, headaches, and tension around the TMJ (jaw joint).

Our splints are designed to:

• Reduce pressure on the jaw joints
• Help relax the muscles involved in clenching
• Protect teeth from further wear
• Improve overall comfort during sleep

We will assess your symptoms carefully and recommend the most appropriate solution for you.
