Splints and Nightguards Homebush
Custom Splints for Teeth Grinding,
Jaw Clenching & Bruxism
Teeth grinding and jaw clenching can cause excessive wear on teeth and place strain on the jaw muscles and joints. Henley Dental provides custom-made splints and nightguards designed to protect your teeth from the effects of bruxism while you sleep.
What Is Bruxism?
Bruxism is the involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth, often during sleep. Over time, it can contribute to worn teeth, headaches, jaw pain, discomfort around the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), and damage to your existing dental work.
A nightguard, also known as an occlusal splint, is a custom-made hard plastic appliance worn at night to help protect your teeth from the effects of grinding and clenching.
Signs You May Be Grinding or Clenching Your Teeth
Many people don't realise they grind or clench their teeth until symptoms begin to affect their comfort or oral health.
Common signs of bruxism include:
-
Morning headaches
-
Jaw pain or tightness
-
Clicking or popping of the jaw
-
Worn or flattened teeth
-
Sensitive teeth
-
Chipped or cracked teeth
-
Broken fillings, crowns, or veneers
-
Facial muscle tension
-
TMJ-related discomfort

Custom Splints vs Store-Bought Nightguards
Store-bought nightguards are designed to fit a wide range of people, while custom splints are made specifically for your teeth and bite.
