Myosa® for Teeth Grinders - TGH
The Myosa® TGH is a harder and more durable appliance than the TG, making it more suitable for heavy teeth grinders. Designed to work best for teeth grinders with symptoms of TMJ (jaw joint) Disorder, the TGH appliance provides a protective barrier that helps shield the teeth and reduce strain on the TMJ caused by grinding. The dual layer appliance is made from flexible material, which fits comfortably in most mouth sizes and when in place also helps to reduce muscle tension around the mouth during sleep.
The Myosa® TGH is custom-mouldable in under 2 minutes, allowing it to adapt securely to your teeth for reliable retention. Recommended for nighttime use as well as during the day if daytime grinding is a problem.
