Comfort, Protection, and Relief for Your Jaw
At Oviedo Premier Dental, our Custom Splint Therapy is designed to alleviate jaw pain, reduce teeth grinding, and prevent long-term dental damage. Using personalized, custom-fitted splints, we help restore proper jaw alignment and promote overall oral comfort. Our team ensures a precise fit for effective, lasting relief.
What Is Custom Splint Therapy?
Custom Splint Therapy uses a personalized oral appliance, often called a nightguard or occlusal splint, to manage temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, bruxism (teeth grinding), and other jaw-related issues. The splint helps reposition the jaw, reduce strain on muscles, and protect teeth from damage caused by grinding or clenching.
How Custom Splint Therapy Works
- A dental impression of your teeth is taken for a custom fit
- The splint is crafted from durable, medical-grade materials
- Worn as directed, usually at night, to relieve stress on the jaw
- Regular follow-ups ensure proper fit and optimal results
