Eltz orthodontic glossary

What are night guards?

Night guards (bruxism splints) are plastic bite splints or occlusal splints.

Night guards are bite splints that are usually worn at night and prevent excessive friction between the jaws – teeth grinding is the unconscious rubbing of the teeth against each other during sleep.
