Do you clench your teeth at night and wake up with pain in your jaws? This may be a consequence of overstrain of the masticatory muscles. Hypertonus does not go away on its own and over time leads to bruxism, headaches and other disorders.
One of the most effective ways to restore muscle balance and relieve excessive tension is a myorelaxing splint. It is an elastic individual tray for the teeth that eliminates not only the symptoms but also their cause – pathological muscle tension.
At Oxford Medical dental clinic, splints are made individually after digital diagnostics. Thanks to this, they are comfortable to wear and truly effective. Most patients notice relief within the first weeks: the muscles relax, morning stiffness disappears, and chewing becomes comfortable and painless.
Make an appointment for a consultation at a convenient time for you – the doctor will assess the condition of the muscles and joints and draw up an individual correction plan.
A myorelaxing splint is an individual medical appliance made of hypoallergenic polymer that is fixed on the teeth and creates conditions for relaxation of the masticatory muscles.
Unlike standard night guards, a splint for muscle relaxation is made based on the results of digital diagnostics and analysis of masticatory muscle function. A TMJ (temporomandibular joint) mouthguard not only protects teeth from abrasion, but also changes the conditions in which the chewing apparatus works, which helps improve coordination of movements, relieve local spasms, and reduce pain.
A myorelaxing splint is prescribed after comprehensive diagnostics: assessment of masticatory muscle function, movements of the lower jaw and the condition of occlusal contacts. If functional disorders are detected, the splint becomes an effective tool for their correction.
The main indications for the use of a myorelaxing splint are:
hypertonus of the masticatory muscles;
pain or a feeling of stiffness in the masticatory muscles;
night clenching or grinding of the teeth (bruxism);
headaches of muscular origin;
clicking, tension or discomfort in the joint area;
displacement of the lower jaw and movement disorders;
The mechanism of action of a myorelaxing splint is based on creating a stable and physiological position of the lower jaw. During wear, the appliance provides gradual unloading of the masticatory muscles, reduces excessive pressure on the joints and helps restore the balanced function of the entire masticatory system.
The main effects of a myorelaxing splint:
In clinical practice, a muscle relaxant mouthguard is often used as a preparatory step before dental prosthetics, since stabilizing the position of the lower jaw and relaxing the masticatory muscles allow creating the correct functional conditions for further restoration of the bite.
A myorelaxing splint works in a complex way – it not only reduces tension but also forms new, healthy functional patterns of muscle and joint function. If necessary, the doctor can gradually adjust the design or combine its use with other treatment methods to achieve maximum effect.
At Oxford Medical dental clinic, modern digital technologies and functional examination methods are used, which makes it possible to create an individual myorelaxing splint that is maximally adapted to the patient’s needs.
The doctor performs a clinical examination, assesses the position and movements of the lower jaw, the nature of occlusal contacts and determines the level of tension in the masticatory muscles. This helps form an initial picture of the function of the masticatory system and the required scope of examinations.
According to indications, the following methods can be used:
The combination of these examinations allows you to accurately identify functional disorders and determine the parameters of the future mouthguard.
The dental arches are scanned using an intraoral scanner or, if necessary, impressions are taken. Based on these data, an accurate model of the jaws is created.
The splint is made in a dental laboratory from a durable medical polymer. This material ensures precise fit, comfort during wear and a predictable therapeutic effect.
During fitting, the doctor checks how the splint sits on the teeth, assesses occlusal contacts and the functional response of the muscles. If necessary, the design is adjusted to achieve the optimal result.
Treatment is carried out under dynamic supervision. At follow-up visits, the doctor assesses changes in the function of the muscles and joints and, if necessary, adjusts the splint. This helps maintain the effectiveness of treatment throughout the entire course.
You can preliminarily check the prices for the fabrication of individual myorelaxing splints here. The doctor will give more precise information on eliminating hypertonus of the masticatory muscles and methods of TMJ dysfunction correction during the consultation.

A myorelaxing splint helps reduce tension by creating conditions for muscle relaxation and decreasing the load on the joints. In some cases, treatment is supplemented with occlusal contact correction or physiotherapy methods.
Usually, the splint is worn for several weeks or months, mainly at night. The duration of treatment depends on the severity of muscle overstrain and the response to therapy. The doctor monitors the dynamics and, if necessary, adjusts the wearing regimen.
Precise diagnostics. Modern digital and functional methods make it possible to thoroughly assess the condition of the masticatory muscles and joints and determine the optimal treatment strategy.
Experienced specialists. The doctors work with complex cases of masticatory system dysfunction and select personalised solutions for each patient.
Individual approach. The appliance is created strictly according to your anatomical and functional parameters, which increases the effectiveness of treatment.
Comfortable wear. Safe medical polymers are used, ensuring a snug fit, comfort and a stable therapeutic effect.
