Night-guard/Splint

In Islamabad

Night-guard or occlusal splint is a removable dental appliance custom made to fit the upper or lower arch of the teeth.

People who have the habit of bruxism or grinding of teeth are advised to wear the night-guard while sleeping. The patients are usually unaware of this habit and thus they cannot stop it.

Night-guards help to decrease this habit and prevent the wear of tooth surfaces because of grinding.
