Night Guards / Bite Splints

Need Teeth Grinding & Bruxism Treatment in Dubai?

Protect your jaw, teeth and sleep with a custom fit night guard. This is just made for your bite. Not a generic one. 

Bruxism or teeth grinding is more common than people think. Patients don’t even realise that they grind at night. Unless they wake up with headaches, jaw pain or worn down teeth. Grinding can chip enamel, crack fillings and strain the jaw joints over time. White Swan Dental Clinic provides comfortable bite splints or night guards designed to support jaw relaxation and reduce damage. 

Because we’re located in Business Bay, Dubai, we see a lot of GCC professionals who deal with tight deadlines, long screen time, coffee, stress, and late-night schedules—so bruxism happens, ya. Living in Dubai or traveling from Oman, Saudi, Qatar, Kuwait or Bahrain. We make the process quick. Be it scan, assessment and a custom teeth grinding guard that fits properly. 

What Is Bruxism (Teeth Grinding) and Why It Matters

Bruxism is grinding or clenching the teeth during sleep. Sometimes when awake during stress or when concentrating. It can cause: 

• Tooth wear – flat edges, enamel loss
• Jaw pain and stiffness
• Tooth sensitivity
• Headaches – morning headaches
• Chipped veneers or crowns. Cracked teeth. 
• Pain or click in the jaw joints
• Neck and shoulder tightness (in some people)

Grinding is not just “a bad habit.” It’s a real strain on the bite system.

Signs You May Need a Night Guard / Bite Splint

You may benefit from night guard treatment if you notice:

• Waking up with jaw soreness
• Morning headaches near temples
• Teeth look shorter or flattened
• Cracks in fillings or teeth
• Tooth sensitivity without cavities
• Tight jaw, clicking jaw or limited opening 
• Partner hears grinding sounds while you sleep
• Clench when working on a laptop or driving

What Causes Teeth Grinding – Bruxism

Bruxism has multiple triggers. Often they are a combination: 

• Anxiety and stress
• Sleep issues and irregular schedules
• High caffeine intake
• Misaligned teeth or bite imbalance 
• Smoking or vaping
• Alcohol use
• Certain medications
• Jaw muscle overactivity

So, we don’t just “give a guard.” We also guide you on triggers and habits that make it worse.

How a Night Guard Helps (Simple Explanation)

A custom night guard does not always “stop” grinding completely. However, it:

• Reduce the pressure on jaw joints
• Protect the teeth from wear and cracking
• Helps jaw muscles relax
• Prevents damage to veneers, crowns and fillings 
• Can reduce morning headaches in many patients

Consider it as a helmet for your teeth. Your teeth exist but they are protected.
