    Occlusal Appliance For Tooth Wear
    For patients experiencing tooth wear due to nighttime grinding and jaw clenching, your dentist may recommend an occlusal appliance- commonly called a nightguard or bite splint- to help alleviate the complications associated with the condition. It is not uncommon for tooth wear to be associated with certain airway or breathing conditions, so your dentist may discuss this with you as well.
