Nightguards/Splints

Nightguards and splints are custom-engineered dental appliances designed to protect your teeth, alleviate jaw discomfort, and mitigate the harmful effects of teeth grinding (bruxism) or clenching. These conditions often occur during sleep or as a physical response to stress, potentially leading to worn enamel, tooth fractures, chronic headaches, and persistent jaw pain. Our nightguards and splints are crafted from durable, medical-grade materials that fit precisely over your teeth, creating a protective barrier that promotes proper bite alignment.

The treatment process begins with a thorough evaluation of your oral health and existing occlusion. Dr. Divya Bhargava utilizes advanced digital scans to design an appliance tailored to your unique anatomical needs. Beyond protection, these splints are frequently used to reposition the jaw gently, reducing strain on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Dr. Bhargava provides clear guidance on the wear and maintenance of your appliance to ensure optimal protection. By safeguarding your enamel and stabilizing the jaw, properly fitted nightguards help prevent long-term complications and preserve the structural integrity of your smile.
