Basically, the question arises as to how long such a Grinding rail holds. This cannot be said in general terms, as every grinding of the teeth releases different forces, which then also put more or less strain on a splint. If you are one of the extreme grinders, you may well need a new splint several times. The more moderate representatives, and this includes the majority of all those affected, can manage well with a bruxism splint for several years.
WHAT ELSE YOU CAN DO
If the jaw area is already under considerable strain, then heat and massages can provide additional support to alleviate pain or discomfort. It is always important that those affected check their jaw position during the day. This does not directly prevent teeth grinding at night. However, by emphasising correct jaw posture during the day, grinding at night can be influenced favourably. Basically, the teeth should only be in contact during the day when eating and swallowing.

Since the grinding happens subconsciously at night, the person affected does not actively notice it. However, you can tell grinding has happened at night if the jaw hurts in the morning or feels unusually rigid. A cracking of the jaw when opening and closing the mouth can be another indication of teeth grinding. If possible, ask your partner if they notice the grinding at night or if it even wakes them up.
PLAY IT SAFE!
The dentist can determine this more reliably. He examines the oral cavity and the chewing muscles. He can sometimes determine whether the cusp relief of the teeth or the enamel is worn down. Grinding and clenching can cause tiny cracks in the enamel, making the teeth hypersensitive. In addition to the chewing muscles, the jaw joints are also affected. If the damage is already advanced, clear damage to the gums and the periodontium becomes apparent.
