Nightguard Splints for Teeth Grinding & TMJ Relief
Custom Dental Nightguards in Mansfield
If you suffer from teeth grinding (bruxism), jaw clenching, or frequent morning headaches, a custom nightguard splint from Mansfield Dental can help protect your smile and relieve discomfort. Our dental clinic in Mansfield, QLD offers professionally fitted nightguards for TMJ, bruxism, and jaw pain, designed specifically for your bite.
​
What Is a Nightguard Splint?
A nightguard splint is a removable dental appliance made of clear, durable material that fits over your upper or lower teeth while you sleep. Its main function is to prevent tooth damage caused by grinding and reduce strain on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Unlike over-the-counter mouthguards, our custom dental nightguards are crafted to fit your mouth perfectly, providing greater comfort, protection, and long-term durability.
