Teeth protection: Removable splints worn at night can help minimise tooth wear, enamel damage, and fractures caused by sleep bruxism.
Pain relief: Dental splints can help alleviate pain associated with TMD by providing proper alignment of the jaw, which reduces stress on the muscles and joints, and promotes muscle relaxation.
TMJ reduction: Occlusal splints can help improve jaw alignment to decrease jaw clicking, popping or locking associated with TMJ disorders.
Post-orthodontic relapse prevention: Dental splints are often used following orthodontic, restorative and cosmetic treatments to keep the teeth aligned and prevent movement associated with post-orthodontic relapse.
