Oral appliances designed to be worn during sleep to protect teeth from grinding and clenching are available in the Colorado Springs area. These devices, often custom-fitted by dental professionals, serve as a barrier between the upper and lower teeth, mitigating the effects of bruxism.
The use of these protective devices can significantly reduce tooth wear, jaw pain, and headaches associated with nighttime teeth grinding. Historically, solutions for bruxism were limited, but advancements in dental materials and fabrication techniques have led to more comfortable and effective options for individuals seeking relief in the region.
