Night guards & bite splints · Truro
A precise fit.
A little more
protection.
Custom-made appliances to help protect teeth and restorations affected by clenching or grinding. Designed around your mouth, your bite and your needs.
The right appliance for you
It starts with
understanding your bite.
Worn teeth, damaged fillings or a tired jaw can have different causes. We assess your teeth, restorations and jaw before recommending an appliance.
Custom night guards
Worn over your teeth, usually at night, to help protect against damage from grinding or clenching. The material and design are chosen to suit your needs.
Bite splints
Carefully adjusted appliances for selected bite or jaw-related problems. Your dentist will explain whether a splint is appropriate and how to wear it.
A guard does not necessarily stop grinding, and a splint is not the right answer for every cause of jaw pain. We will explain what it may help with and discuss other care where needed.

Your questions
Good to know.
Will a night guard stop me grinding?
Not necessarily. Its main role is often to protect your teeth and restorations. We can also discuss relevant contributing factors and self-care.
Can a splint help jaw pain?
It may help some people, but jaw pain has several possible causes. We assess the problem first and explain whether a splint is suitable.
How long will my guard last?
This varies with the material, the force of grinding and how it is cared for. Bring it to your dental reviews so we can check the fit and condition.
What if it feels uncomfortable?
Contact us if your appliance rubs, no longer fits or causes new discomfort. Do not try to reshape it yourself. We can check whether an adjustment is needed.
