Dental splints can be used to protect the teeth from grinding, address the symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ), or to treat loose and misaligned teeth. Splints, also known by terms like mouth and night guards, come in a variety of styles. A dentist can custom-fit a splint for a very specific purpose, and it is also possible to purchase generic models. Some advice from a dentist can be helpful for choosing the best option to manage a given dental issue.
In patients with TMJ, dental splints can relieve pain and pressure during the night. Such patients may be prone to grinding in their sleep, and the splint can pull the jaw into alignment and reduce the stress on it. This can limit neck pain and headaches associated with the TMJ, and may make patients feel more comfortable during the day.
People of all ages can benefit from dental splinting. With growing children, regular checkups are necessary to check on the fit of the splint and the progress of the treatment. Teeth come in rapidly for young children, and it is critical to make sure that a splint does not interfere with normal oral development.
