An occlusal splint is a dental appliance worn over the teeth to help with issues like teeth grinding, jaw clenching, or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. It functions by providing a barrier between the upper and lower teeth to protect them from damage and encourage proper jaw alignment. The splint is custom-made by a dentist and should be worn at night or as directed to alleviate symptoms and prevent further dental problems.
