What exactly is a grinding splint (Relax-Guard)
The Veneera™ Relax-Guard is a custom-made grinding splint that protects your teeth from the effects of bruxism. Bruxism is the unconscious, usually nocturnal activity of the chewing muscles; that is, grinding, pressing the teeth together or tightening and shifting the lower jaw. Teeth grinding puts up to 10 times more pressure on your teeth than normal chewing. The Relax-Guard distributes this pressure evenly and thus relieves the jaw muscles.
