Teeth Grinding
Teeth grinding is one of the most common yet little-known dental complaints. It often occurs in connection with stressful situations – frequently unconsciously and especially at night.
Daily tooth contact increases significantly through grinding or clenching. Possible consequences include wear of the tooth enamel, sensitive teeth, tooth fractures, and aesthetic impairment from shortened teeth. With an individually made occlusal splint, we can effectively protect your teeth.
