Protect Your Teeth While You Sleep
If you wake up with jaw tension, headaches, or worn-down teeth, you may be grinding or clenching your teeth at night — a condition known as bruxism.
At Dentist Istanbul, we create custom night guards and bruxism splints designed to protect your teeth, relax your jaw muscles, and improve your sleep quality.
Rest easy — your smile is protected.
What Is Bruxism?
Bruxism is the involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth, most often during sleep.
It’s a common condition caused by factors such as:
- Stress or anxiety
- Bite misalignment
- Sleep apnea or breathing disorders
- Lifestyle factors (e.g. caffeine or alcohol intake)
Without protection, bruxism can lead to:
- Tooth wear, chipping, or cracking
- Gum recession
- Jaw pain or stiffness (TMJ dysfunction)
- Headaches and facial discomfort
- Poor sleep and fatigue
A simple night guard can prevent long-term damage and discomfort.
What Is a Night Guard / Bruxism Splint?
A night guard (also called an occlusal splint or bite guard) is a custom-made appliance that fits comfortably over your teeth while you sleep.
It acts as a cushion between your upper and lower jaws, preventing grinding and absorbing bite pressure.
Our dental team at Dentist Istanbul uses digital scanning and precision molding to create guards that fit perfectly, feel comfortable, and last for years.
Tailored protection — made just for you.
The Treatment Process
Creating your custom night guard or splint is simple, quick, and non-invasive:
Step 1: Consultation & Examination
We assess your bite, jaw joint (TMJ), and tooth wear to confirm signs of bruxism.
Step 2: Digital Impression
A digital scan or precise mold of your teeth ensures a perfect fit and even pressure distribution.
Step 3: Fabrication
Your guard is custom-made from durable, biocompatible materials that resist wear and are easy to clean.
Step 4: Fitting & Adjustment
We ensure your splint feels natural and comfortable, with proper alignment and breathing space.
Step 5: Follow-Up
We monitor comfort, bite balance, and appliance longevity during your routine check-ups.
Designed for comfort. Built for protection.
