Expert treatment Biteplane Therapy
Custom bite planes help protect your teeth from grinding and clenching, while reducing jaw tension, discomfort, and long-term wear caused by bruxism and TMJ disorders.
What Is biteplane therapy?
Grinding and clenching your teeth, also known as bruxism, is a very common condition that can place significant stress on your teeth, jaw joints, and facial muscles. Many people grind or clench subconsciously, especially during sleep or periods of stress. Over time, this pressure can contribute to worn or damaged teeth, jaw pain, headaches, muscle fatigue, tooth sensitivity, and changes in your bite or smile alignment. Biteplane therapy helps protect your teeth while reducing strain on the muscles and joints involved in chewing and jaw movement.
Custom-made for your smile
Dr. Stacey Matheson provides custom bite planes designed specifically for your mouth and bite. These appliances are created using detailed impressions of your teeth to ensure a secure, comfortable fit. Unlike over-the-counter mouth guards, custom bite planes are carefully designed to provide balanced support, cushioning, and protection while helping reduce muscular tension and stress on the jaw joints. Depending on your needs, a bite plane may be recommended for nighttime use, daytime use, or both.
Relief and long-term protection
Biteplane therapy can help relieve symptoms associated with bruxism and TMJ disorders while also protecting your teeth from ongoing damage. Many patients experience improvements in jaw discomfort, muscle soreness, clenching-related headaches, and tooth sensitivity after beginning treatment. Bite planes also play an important role in preventing excessive tooth wear, fractures, and strain on dental restorations. Our goal is to provide a solution that improves comfort today while helping protect your long-term oral health.
