Abstract

An apparatus for treating bruxism comprising a main body element, a knob element, and a treatment arm. The main body roughly resembles a flattened golf club head and may have a recess on top, and is connected via the treatment arm to the knob element. The exterior of the apparatus has a smooth construction, with rounded edges lacking sharp corners or points, to assist with placement and comfort. When in use, the main body is placed in the cheek pocket and the treatment arm hooks behind the back molar, where it produces discomfort when fully biting down, thereby discouraging tooth-grinding during slumber.
