Detection of my splint effectiveness.

The purpose of the bite splint is to change the way your teeth bite together. It will reduce the wear on your teeth if you have a tendency to clench or a grind. Because it is softer than your teeth it will wear in preference to them. A bite splint also decreases the pressure in the jaw joints or TMJ (temporomandibular joints), reduces the load on the jaw muscles and helps to reduce pain from the jaw joints and the muscles that move your jaws. When you first wear the bite splint it will feel unusual in your mouth, particularly for the first few nights. Don’t be concerned as you will quickly become used to it. It may take a week or so to notice a difference in your symptoms so it is important to use the bite splint continually for at least 6 weeks. Subsequent use is usually tailored to your presenting symptoms and response to therapy.
