Reference: Treatments for teeth grinding (bruxism) include using mouth guards or mouth splints and therapy. Reference information: Mouth guards and mouth splints If you grind your teeth while you're asleep, it may help to wear a mouth guard or mouth splint at night. Mouth guards and splints even out the pressure across your jaw and create a physical barrier between your upper and lower teeth to protect them from further damage. They can also reduce any grinding noises you make at night. Mouth guards are similar to those used in sports such as boxing or rugby. They're rubber or plastic and can be made by your dentist to fit your mouth. You can also buy a mouth guard from your local pharmacist, but it's unlikely to fit as well as a custom-made one. A mouth splint is made from harder plastic and fits precisely over your upper or lower teeth. They're no more effective than mouth guards in reducing the symptoms of teeth grinding. However, they're more expensive as they last for several years, whereas mouth guards usually only last for less than a year. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/teeth-grinding/treatment/ |
