Facts about “Dawson” Occlusion Night Guards:

  • Advance Technology – Dr. Tigani has extensive training in the advanced technology known as the “Dawson” method of Occlusion Night Guards;
  • Protect Your Teeth – The "Dawson" splint is an occlusion night guard that fits your upper teeth and is designed to protect your teeth against the damage of grinding & clenching your teeth as well as the progression of TMJ;
  • How It Works – This devise is usually worn at the times when you are most likely to grind your teeth, which will prevent tooth movement, grinding and clenching habits, jaw and joint pain, the wearing and cracking of your teeth and reduce muscle spasms;
  • Benefits – The occlusion night guard will allow the muscles of your jaw joints to function more smoothly as well as prevents your teeth from locking together, which allows your jaw to find its most natural and comfortable position.

The Facts about TMJ, Grinding and Clenching Teeth:

  • Causes – Stress or anxiety, malocclusion (teeth that do not fit together properly), trauma from a severe blow to the jaw, degeneration of the joint, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or other forms of inflammation;
  • Symptoms – Headache or facial pain, ear aches or ringing in the ears, dizziness;
  • If Left Untreated – TMJ, grinding and clenching of the teeth can all lead to many detrimental oral health conditions if left untreated, such as: chipped enamel, flattened, loosened, cracked or worn-down teeth and even bone loss (periodontal disease).
