    What Does the Procedure Involve?

    Stage 1: Consultation

    • At your bite guard therapy consultation, your dentist will thoroughly explore your concerns and examine your mouth. Any necessary X-rays, scans (CBCT, intraoral, T-scans or EMG) and mouth impressions will be taken.
    • These are all superficially placed, so you are unlikely to experience any discomfort from any of these. From the findings, your dentist will then discuss if bite guard therapy or other treatment options are recommended.

    Stage 3: Post-Treatment Care

    You will be provided instructions on how long to wear your bite guard for per day and how to clean and look after it. Your dentist will arrange a review to evaluate your progress in 2 to 6 weeks.

    Stage 2: Bite Guard Therapy

    • Your records will be sent to the dental laboratory to construct your bite guard. At your next appointment, this will be checked and fitted in your mouth.
    • Your dentist may make some minor adjustments to your bite guard to refine it. When wearing your bite guard, you are likely to detect a change to your bite, which is now expected to feel comfortable. Most patients can quickly acclimatise to this.
