Night Guards (Splints) and Sports Mouthguards

Splints and mouthguards are both appliances recommended by dentist to protect a patient’s teeth.

Splints are recommended for people that grind or clench their teeth. A splint protects the teeth from wear, fractures and even breaking. In many cases, somebody that grinds or clenches their teeth can have sore jaw joints and even headaches. Splints can come in different designs depending on a person’s bite and preference.
