Going for a Night Splint for TMJ

[nuno1976]

Hello,

Next week I have an appointment in order to test a dental split for TMJ issues.
The doctor think it could help my Tinnitus since I have some signs of night bruxism.

There are any particular questions or considerations I should take in consideration?

Thank you.

You should have impressions done to get a good mould of your teeth to make the mouth guard fit just right.
It can take a while to show progress so don't expect a lot for 2-4 weeks .

I have a night mouthguard, not sure if it's the same thing? I've broken teeth by clenching so much and it hurts my ears. It would feel strange to sleep without it now.
If it's a mouthguard then impressions will be taken of your teeth. This then goes to a dental lab to be made and when it comes back your dentist will adjust it for the correct bite.
You will then have a follow up appt to check it again. They're really helpful and a lot of people have them.

I hope the mouthguard can help a little bit my T....
