Occlusal Splints
An occlusal splint is worn while you sleep (and during the day if needed) to reposition your jaw so that you don’t experience severe pain. Its cushioned material also protects teeth from enamel erosion if you suffer from bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching). When worn properly, your TMJs will begin to heal over time.
Equilibration/Occlusal Adjustment
Uneven bite pressure can wear down your jaw joints, but equilibration/occlusal adjustment can alter certain teeth or restorations, making it easier on your TMJs. Our team will determine which areas need adjustment after reviewing detailed images of how your teeth come together. This will allow your jaw joints to work normally and avoid unnecessary tension.
