Sleep Clench Inhibitor (SCi) & Bruxism in 60 seconds

  • Compared to a full-arch, traditional guard, the SCi is a small, tailor-made appliance that is typically worn at night.
  • The SCi is a type of Occlusal Splint that is custom made and creates a barrier which leads to a reduction in clenching.
  • The barrier also inhibits muscle activity associated with Bruxism. This results in a significant reduction in tension, headaches, migraines & even jaw and neck pain.
  • Can improve the quality of sleep and reduces migraines associated with teeth-grinding.
  • Prevents bruxism from affecting the condition of your teeth.
  • Prevention of occlusal trauma, e.g. protection of restorations and implants in cases of severe bruxism.

Your Patient Journey

Journey Icon

First Appointment

If you are a new patient to Olive Tree Dental a new patient exam is carried out first to ensure you are dentally fit for the treatment. Decay, infections, or gum disease will need to be treated prior to any cosmetic treatments such as a Smile Makeover.

A comprehensive assessment is then undertaken. Digital scans are taken to obtain measurements of your teeth, which will be used to create your SCi (Sleep Clench Inhibitor) appliance. Your SCi is custom made, and will be a seamless fit for your mouth (they’re really easy to get used to, as they’re made with your mouth shape in mind). It differs from a traditional guard in the sense that compared to a full-arch, the SCi is a small appliance, which increases the comfort and ease of this being worn (typically at night).
