If you grind your teeth while you’re asleep, if you wake up with a headache or pain on your cheeck or joint, if your teeth chip, it may help to wear a transparent mouth splint at night.
Splints even out the pressure across your jaw and create a physical barrier between your upper and lower teeth to protect them from further damage. They can also reduce any grinding noises you make at night.
A mouth splint is made from harder plastic and fits precisely over your upper or lower teeth.
