Occlusal Splints
Occlusal splints are custom-crafted orthotic devices, like a mouthguard, that are meant to be worn as you sleep. They gently shift your jaw into its ideal resting place to ease tension on the joints. The splint also helps prevent dental damage from bruxism that can also be a side-effect of TMJ dysfunction. It’s crafted from a clear acrylic resin and can also improve your airflow while you sleep to aid in minimizing sleep apnea symptoms as well.
