Custom bite splints to help patients suffering from teeth grinding, jaw pain and TMJ-related issues.
Our custom-made nightguards protect your teeth, reduce tension in the jaw, and improve your overall comfort while you sleep
A bite splint—also known as a nightguard—is a removable oral appliance worn over the teeth, typically at night. Designed to fit your unique bite, it prevents teeth from grinding together and helps relieve strain on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
Custom bite splints are an effective solution for various dental conditions, including:
✔ Bruxism – Nighttime grinding or clenching that can wear down teeth.
✔ TMJ Disorders – Facial pain or tension headaches caused by clenching.
✔ Jaw Muscle Tension – Caused by jaw tension.
✔ Tooth Damage – Prevents further enamel wear, chips, or fractures
Unlike store-bought nightguards, our custom bite splints are expertly designed to fit the unique shape of your teeth and bite. This precise fit ensures optimal comfort and protection throughout the night. Wearing a professionally crafted bite splint can significantly reduce jaw pain, facial tension, and muscle fatigue caused by grinding or clenching. Many patients also experience better sleep quality and relief from morning headaches, as the splint helps relax the jaw and protect against unconscious stress on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
In addition to immediate symptom relief, custom bite splints offer long-term preventive benefits. They shield your teeth from excessive wear, cracks, and enamel erosion—preserving your natural smile and helping you avoid the need for more extensive and costly dental procedures in the future. At Solt Family Dental in Wyoming, MI, our bite splints are a simple, effective solution for maintaining both your comfort and your dental health.
Proper care will keep your bite splint clean, safe, and long-lasting. We'll provide you with instructions on how to clean and store your appliance, and we recommend bringing it to your routine checkups so we can inspect for wear and fit
