An occlusal splint, or bite guard, is a custom-fitted, removable dental appliance that covers the teeth to protect them from damage caused by grinding (bruxism) and clenching. By providing a stable and balanced surface for the jaws to close on, the splint helps alleviate jaw pain, muscle tension, headaches, and tooth wear, often while a person sleeps or concentrates.
The therapeutic treatment, administered by Dr. Yilmaz, is minimally invasive with little to no downtime, with relief often noticeable within days and lasting for months.
Botox is used in dentistry to treat orofacial pain by targeting trigger points, which are hypersensitive knots of muscle fibers. When a dentist injects a neuromodulator like Botox into a trigger point, it relaxes the muscle, interrupting pain signals and reducing chronic tension from conditions like TMJ dysfunction or bruxism (teeth grinding). This can provide significant pain relief, improve jaw function, and even reduce the physical effects of clenching
