What appliance do i need for bruxism?

Individuality: There is no one "best" dental appliance for bruxism. I make different types of mouthpieces based upon my history and examination. Some patients just need a soft, thin mouthguard to wear at night, while others may need a hard acrylic one that they wear 24/7. Some come into my office with a handful of old appliances. Need to figure out what works and what did not. Really need to address source.

Stabilization splint: is also called stabilization appliance, night guard, bite guard or Michigan splint. A full coverage stabilization appliance fabricated in hard acrylic resin is most commonly used. Clinical trials suggest that the stabilization appliance may be particularly effective for patients who wake up with masticatory myalgia due to nocturnal bruxism. Ask your dentist for more information.
