Nighttime teeth clenching, teeth grinding

A splint that protects your teeth from wear

Nighttime teeth grinding and clenching occurs unnoticed by many people while they sleep, causing morning headaches, jaw tension, and muscle pain.

Even a few weeks can have lasting consequences: tooth wear, cracks, and even tooth loss. At PureDental, we protect your teeth and joints with a custom-made, transparent splint from the pressure of up to tens of kilograms that can weigh on your teeth while you sleep.

I had a wonderful experience over my two-year orthodontic journey with Dr. Barbara Daubner. She is incredibly patient, highly professional, and always takes the time to listen to your concerns. The pricing was completely transparent from start to finish, and her expertise is truly top-notch. Highly recommended!

What is a night rail, and when is it needed?

  • Teeth grinding usually occurs involuntarily during sleep. This makes it difficult to prevent, as we cannot control our jaw movements while we sleep.

    At PureDental, a custom-made rubber-like mouthguard for nighttime use helps relax the chewing muscles, absorbs the force generated by clenching the teeth, relieves pressure on the jaw joint, and loosens the chewing muscles.

    The splint also eliminates the unpleasant sounds associated with teeth grinding, making sleep truly restful.

    Wearing a splint is especially recommended if you:

    • grinds or clenches teeth at night
    • wakes up in the morning with pain in the head, neck, or jaw
    • jaw clicks, tense
    • you want to preserve a previously made crown, bridge, or implant
    • leads a stressful, tense lifestyle and often experiences muscle tension or jaw pain

The treatment process

At PureDental, every splint is made based on a unique impression or digital scan to ensure a perfect fit and comfortable wear. Using the splint at night will relieve joint and muscle pain within a few days and protect your teeth from wear in the long term.
