Teeth grinding & jaw joint problems

Nightly teeth grinding damages the teeth, tenses the jaw muscles and can cause headaches and jaw joint complaints. We protect your teeth and relieve joint and muscles.

How to recognise it

Typical signs are flattened or sensitive teeth, tension in jaw and neck, morning headaches or clicking in the jaw joint.

The night guard: protection for your teeth

A precisely fitting occlusal splint protects tooth substance from grinding wear and relieves jaw joints and muscles. Many patients report less tension and fewer headaches after a short time.

Relieving joint and muscles

In addition to the splint, we advise you on exercises and relaxing the jaw muscles. Where useful, we work together with physiotherapy.
