Michigan Splint for Nighttime Teeth Grinding
Nighttime teeth clenching and grinding lead to increased wear and, if severe and prolonged, can cause permanent damage to the teeth. It often comes with muscle tension in the jaw and neck, migraine-like headaches, and jaw joint disorders. With special, custom-made bite splints combined with supportive measures, we can provide relief.
What is a Snoring Splint?
Our snoring splints are crafted from specialized dental materials using patented manufacturing techniques. The snoring splints we use are exclusively produced in specialized laboratories in Switzerland, Germany, France, and England.
These splints are easy to use, comfortable to wear, and ensure healthy and relaxed breathing. For effective treatment of snoring, we use only splints with scientifically proven, lasting effectiveness, such as Somnodent®.
What to Expect
Initially, we will thoroughly assess your needs and provide a well-founded diagnosis. By wearing a custom-made plastic splint during sleep, the lower jaw is advanced, thus opening and keeping the airways clear. The splints are effective for habitual snoring and mild to moderate forms of obstructive sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is often the underlying condition for so-called "sleep attacks."
Without the need for surgical procedures or lengthy treatments, we will create your personalized splint and free you from your snoring problem.
