NTI Appliance
This small acrylic device works to impede the signals causing your jaw muscles to clench and grind by preventing the front and back teeth from touching. This application can be worn both at night and during the day.

Occlusal Splint
These custom bite splints, or night guards, are worn during sleep to protect the teeth from grinding and prevent premature tooth wear and damage to fillings and crowns.

Bite Adjustment and Equilibration
Our TMJ treatments focus on minimizing pain and preventing physical damage that is caused by teeth grinding. Dr. Caligan will restore and re-shape individual teeth, allowing for the grinding force to be distributed among all teeth instead of impacting and degrading only a few.

Full Mouth Reconstruction
When prolonged teeth grinding has damaged the teeth, muscles, and jaw, a full mouth reconstruction may be discussed. Dr. Caligan can restore years of damage and revitalize your smile and your overall oral health.
