The Occlusal Guard is designed for patients with several different dental issues. The guard is recommended for patients who: 

grind and clench their teeth
The Occlusal Guard will eliminate or greatly reduce clenching or grinding.  Even in those who still brux, the damage being done to the teeth will stop.

have headaches or facial pain
The Occlusal Guard can significantly reduce or eliminate pain by allowing the patient's muscles to relax.  It also allows the patient's own anatomy and muscles to place facial joints in the most natural position while reducing muscle activity.

have had cosmetic or restorative dentistry
The Occlusal Guard will protect any restorative or cosmetic dentistry and the natural dentition. The Occlusal Guard creates longevity for our restorations and prolongs the life of natural teeth.

want to keep their teeth properly aligned
The Occlusal Guard will hold both upper and lower teeth in their present position and prevent orthodontic relapse.

are preparing for restorative work
The Occlusal Guard creates joint stability and muscle coordination, allowing clients to balance their bite with confidence.

have joints that pop and click
The Occlusal Guard reduces the forces in the joint by reducing muscle activity and stops the progressive breakdown of the joint.

have symptoms that make a diagnosis difficult
The Occlusal Guard is an excellent diagnostic tool that allows our staff to distinguish between muscle problems and internal derangements of the joint.

have cracks, fracture lines or weakened teeth
The Occlusal Guard protects existing tooth structure and prevents further damage.
