DPEARL Unveils GISHIRI Mouth Guard Solution for Teeth Grinding

Japan: DPEARL, a Japanese orthodontic products company, is launching a custom-made GISHIRI mouth guard crafted from a plastic sheet material to treat bruxism. This 0.7-millimeter thick mouth guard is said to be both protective and gentle on the patient’s teeth.

What is Bruxism?

Bruxism, a condition characterized by teeth grinding and clenching, poses significant risks to dental health. Tooth fractures and damage to periodontal tissues are common consequences of excessive force exerted during bruxism episodes.

Many individuals remain unaware of their teeth grinding habits. The force exerted during bruxism can lead to tooth fractures and cause damage to periodontal tissues, including the periodontal ligament. Sleep-related teeth grinding is particularly problematic, as the bite force can reach up to 250 pounds (113 kg), making conscious avoidance of grinding nearly impossible. It is essential to take preventive measures to protect teeth and maintain oral health.

Wearing a night mouth guard has been recommended as an effective solution to protect teeth from grinding during sleep. By creating a physical barrier between the upper and lower teeth, these guards absorb the excessive force generated during bruxism, preventing potential dental damage. The GISHIRI mouth guard, specifically designed for nighttime use, offers a means of safeguarding teeth and promoting overall oral well-being.

Comfortable Fit and Early Applications

Crafted from a custom-made gentle plastic sheet material, the GISHIRI mouth guard aims to provide a comfortable fit. To ensure the correct fit, individuals are advised to consult with a dentist for diagnosis and approval before ordering. Once approved, users can conveniently order the mouth guard monthly, says the company.

For individuals who have long been aware of their teeth grinding habit and have concerns, DPEARL offers a free trial set with no recurring charges. This trial set includes the following contents:

• One upper and one lower mouth guard (1 set)
• Mouthpiece case
• One pack of cleaning solution

The acceptance period for advance applications for the GISHIRI mouth guard free trial set is June 27 toJuly 15, 2023. DPEARL encourages interested individuals to take advantage of this opportunity to experience the benefits of their mouth guard firsthand.
