Occlusal Splints aka Nightguard
Custom-made just for you, an occlusal splint will fit over your teeth to minimize the effects of unconscious grinding while also alleviating any pain caused by overworked, tense facial muscles. These splints will also encourage the jaw to sit in a more comfortable position to offer lasting relief.
BOTOX Treatment
BOTOX can be used to relax jaw muscles so that discomfort dissipates, providing fast temporary relief, ensuring a patient is comfortable while we apply a more robust long-term solution.
Equilibration/ Occlusal Adjustments
If one or more teeth appear to create an uneven bite – one that is causing excessive pressure on your jaw joints – we can perform equilibration AKA an occlusal adjustment. This means slightly altering these teeth (or restorations) so that your bite comes together properly and eliminates any areas that might cause tension in your jaw joints.
