SCI - sleep clenching inhibitor
The Sleep Clenching Inhibitor (SCI) Protects Your Smile
Grinding & Clenching of Teeth causes many problems:
- Damage to your smile
- Increased wear of fillings and teeth
- Damage to veneers and crowns
- Failure of dental implants
- Headaches
- Jaw and neck pain
- Increased facial muscle around the jaw
Many people clench and/or grind their teeth at night whilst asleep and do not even realise it! This is due to a tensing of the jaw muscles bringing the upper and lower teeth under immense pressure. Not only does this cause damage to your teeth but is often the cause of headaches, jaw and neck pain.

TESTIMONIALS
My patients have found the SCI anterior mini splint a comfortable way to prevent the grinding and clenching of teeth. The SCI anterior mini splint just fits on the six upper front teeth so is less likely to cause gagging and its snug fit can easily be adjusted at home rather than making another visit to my dental practice. I am confident to recommend the SCI - Dr Parsons - Manchester
