Have you ever woken up with pain in your jaw, facial muscles or even a headache with no apparent cause? These symptoms, along with wear and tear on your teeth, may be signs that you need a mouthguard. At our dental clinic in Murcia, we encounter many patients who present with problems derived from bruxism or teeth grinding, a condition that can generate a series of discomforts and affect your dental health in the long term.<\/p>\n

The bite splint is a resin device that helps protect your teeth and relax your jaw muscles. Its main function is to act as a barrier between the upper and lower teeth, preventing wear and reducing the pressure you exert when clenching or grinding.
