Myosa® for Teeth Grinders - TG

Protection of the teeth from bruxing with improved comfort

The Myosa® TG is a single-size, custom mouldable appliance designed to provide immediate symptom relief for patients with bruxism. The flexible, single-layer appliance is easily moulded and fits comfortably in any mouth size while helping to protect the teeth from bruxing and reducing muscle tension around the mouth. The TG is recommended for night use, but can also be used during the day if daytime grinding is a problem.

TG Design Features

The features of the TG are specifically designed for bruxers and to help reduce tension in the muscles around the mouth and jaws caused by teeth grinding.

Directions for Moulding

The Myosa® TG is fitted over the teeth and worn at night while sleeping and can also be worn during the day if daytime grinding is an issue. It features a unique flat base designed to protect the teeth and jaws from the effects of night time teeth grinding and is easy to mould in under two minutes.
