Many patients who suffer from teeth grinding (also known as bruxism), feel instant relief by wearing a night guard or bite splint. These appear just like a custom sports mouthguard, but serve a different purpose.
By wearing a night guard or splint while you sleep, your teeth are then slightly separated and can no longer touch or grind down on each other. This will prevent further damage to your teeth and can also relieve chronic headaches or migraines caused by bruxism.
