Technique
Bruxism, or night-time teeth grinding, can cause serious damage to your teeth and overall well-being.
Bruxism aligners are mouthguards used during sleep to prevent tooth wear caused by grinding and clenching. They offer dental protection by minimizing abrasion, reducing the risk of cracks and fractures. Their lightweight, flexible, easy-to-wear design ensures optimum comfort for discomfort-free nights. Each mouthpiece is customized to the contours of your teeth, ensuring maximum effectiveness. In addition to preventing facial pain by reducing muscle tension and headaches associated with bruxism, our aligners are made from quality materials for long-term durability.
Definition :
Our aligners are custom-designed to perfectly fit the unique shape of your teeth, offering exceptional comfort while you sleep. Made from safe, durable materials, they act as a protective barrier, preventing premature tooth wear and mitigating the harmful effects of bruxism.
Importantly, this process is non-invasive, providing an effective, customized solution to your dental needs.
Duration
It’s essential to schedule 2 sessions, each lasting around 20 minutes. At the first session, we’ll take impressions. The mouthpiece will then be manufactured over the next 7 to 10 days. Once completed, it will be ready for use at your second appointment. We’ll test it together to make sure it’s as comfortable as possible.
