Bruxism splint
Protecting your teeth from grinding and clenching
A custom-made protective splint helps shield your teeth from the effects of grinding and clenching, relieve overworked jaw muscles and limit further wear.
About the treatment
Protecting your teeth from grinding and clenching
Bruxism is the unconscious clenching or grinding of the teeth. It often happens during sleep but can also occur during the day. Over time the strain can wear the teeth down and lead to sensitivity, cracks, sore jaw muscles or tension around the jaw.
The splint is made individually to fit your teeth. It forms a protective barrier between them and helps spread the forces of clenching more evenly.
When a bruxism splint may be the right solution
-
Grinding at night
If you or your partner notice that you grind your teeth at night.
-
Frequent jaw clenching
If you clench your teeth without realising it during the day or under stress.
-
Worn teeth
If the enamel is wearing down, your teeth are getting shorter or your fillings keep getting damaged.
-
Tense jaw muscles
If you wake up with pressure, tiredness or pain around the jaw.
-
Sensitivity and small cracks
If your teeth show signs of overload that may call for extra protection.
-
Protecting dental work
For some patients a splint can help protect crowns, veneers or other restorations.
How the splint is made
Every splint is designed individually. It is not a one-size-fits-all device but a solution fitted to your bite and the current state of your teeth.
-
1) Examination and consultation
The dentist assesses your teeth, bite and jaw muscles, and looks for signs of overload.
-
2) Digital impression or scan
We take an accurate record of your teeth to make your custom splint.
-
3) Making the splint
Using that data, a splint is made to fit your teeth precisely.
-
4) Fitting and check
We check comfort, stability and contact, and make fine adjustments if needed.
-
5) Follow-up visits
As needed, we monitor the splint and your symptoms and recommend next steps.
What to expect
The aim is to protect your teeth and reduce the strain on them
A splint does not remove the cause of bruxism in every patient, but it can help protect your teeth from its effects. The result depends on your condition, regular use and, where relevant, the dentist’s further advice.
-
Protects your teeth
Helps limit direct tooth-to-tooth contact and further mechanical wear.
-
Less strain
For some patients it can help ease uncomfortable tension in the jaw.
-
Made for your comfort
The splint is custom-made to be stable and as comfortable as possible to wear.
Řešení pro zdravý a krásný úsměv v každé fázi péče

Chodím už několik let k p. doktorce Shorné a jsem naprosto spokojený. Opravila mi nějaké hodně špatné kazy, strávil jsem tam spoustu času a každý zákrok byl naprosto bezbolestný, což je pro mě hodně zásadní, protože z bolesti u zubaře mám hrůzu. I po přestěhování do jiného města (100 km) sem pořád rád dojíždím, protože takhle kvalitních zubařů je jako šafránu. Rozhodně doporučuju a doufám, že sem budu moct chodit ještě dlouho.

Frequently asked questions
Common signs include worn tooth edges, jaw tension in the morning, sensitive teeth, or a partner noticing grinding at night. A dentist can assess it more reliably during an examination.
Usually yes — the splint only protects your teeth while you are wearing it, and grinding mostly happens during sleep. The dentist will advise how often and how long to wear it based on your condition.
The splint is made to fit your teeth, so it should sit firmly and comfortably. It may take a few days to get used to. If it presses anywhere, we will adjust it at your check-up.
A splint does not remove the cause of bruxism in every patient. It does protect your teeth from its effects and, for some patients, can ease tension in the jaw muscles. We will agree the next steps with the dentist.
How long a splint lasts depends on how hard you grind and how you care for it. We therefore check it at your regular check-ups and adjust or replace it as needed.
