Bruxism

    Home Bruxism

    BRUXISM

    Bruxism is the common occurrence of involuntary clenching and grinding of teeth most people are unaware they do primarily while sleeping. Bruxism may cause headaches, damage to teeth & fillings, and neck pain. Although bruxism may be mild in most cases and not require treatment; if left undiagnosed, painful, and costly complications can occur over time.

    WHAT IS AN ANTERIOR SPLINT?

    The BiteSoft™ Anterior Splint is a custom-fitted mouth piece worn over the anterior teeth during sleep to establish jaw stability and relaxation. Fabricated with premium materials, BiteSoft’s patented design provides an optimal and effective solution to overcoming clenching and grinding. Dentists prescribe the BiteSoft Anterior Splint to ensure your natural teeth and all dental restorations are protected.

    WHO’S A CANDIDATE?

    Any patient who has undergone a comprehensive examination with his/her dentist to determine the severity of their bruxism is a candidate for BiteSoft.
    Patients who also have difficulty wearing large, uncomfortable splints can benefit from the comfort of the BiteSoft Anterior Splint while attaining better dental health.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    Q: How comfortable is the Anterior Splint to wear?
    A: The vast majority of people adapt to the minimal dimensions almost immediately. Most people prefer wearing the appliance at night due to the muscle relaxation effect.

    Q: Do I need to wear my Anterior Splint during the day?
    A: The BiteSoft Anterior Splint is designed to be worn during sleep when there is no conscious control of clenching. Only your dentist can advice you if day time wear will be necessary.

    Q: How can I be certain it will work for me?
    A: Total protection of teeth can be guaranteed; however, when used for overcoming pain there are so many causes it is difficult to be 100% sure.

    Q: How often do I have to replace my splint?
    A: The replacement of your BiteSoft Anterior Splint is recommended every two years or earlier depending on the severity of your bruxing. It is imperative to continue with regular periodic dental exams to ensure that your teeth and dental restorations last longer.
