TMJ and Sleep Dentistry

We offer custom-made splints—such as NTI (Nociceptive Trigeminal Inhibition) and Michigan splints or night guards—to help manage bruxism (teeth grinding) and TMJ disorders. These appliances are designed to reduce muscle tension, protect teeth from wear, and relieve jaw joint discomfort by promoting a more relaxed bite during sleep or daily use. Each splint is tailored to your needs for optimal comfort and effectiveness.

Sleep-related breathing issues, including snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), can significantly impact your health and quality of life. At the Sechelt Dental Centre, we offer custom oral appliances that gently reposition the jaw and tongue to help keep your airway open during sleep. These comfortable, non-invasive devices are an effective alternative to Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy for many patients and can greatly reduce snoring and sleep interruptions. Our team can work closely with your physician or sleep specialist to ensure your treatment is effective, and specific to your diagnosis.
